The multicomponent reaction of various aldehydes, benzil, aliphatic and aromatic primary amines and ammonium acetate under solvent-free condition is explained. The highly efficient role of antimony trichloride and stannous chloride dihydrate as catalyst in this synthesis was shown and their effects on the reaction process were studied. By this advantage, several polysubstituted imidazoles as pharmaceutical important molecules can be prepared in high yield and high purity. This method is a very easy and rapid for the synthesis of imidazole derivatives. We report here a simple, rapid and one-pot procedure for the synthesis of tri and tetra-substituted imidazoles by the use of antimony trichloride and stannous chloride dihydrate with high yields and short reaction times under solvent-free conditions.
