2-Aminoimidazoles in liquid ammonia display the properties of polybasic NH acids, forming mono-, di-, and possibly trianions according to the conditions. The following methods have been developed for the generation of these N anions: the action of bases on 2-aminoimidazoles; debenzylation of their N-benzyl derivatives; and reductive fission of 2-azidoimidazoles by sodium in liquid ammonia. The polyanions have been shown to be oxidized by atmospheric oxygen to 2, 2′-azo- and 2-nitroimidazoles.
