The invention also relates to imidazo[1,2-a]pyrimidinium salts bearing an azidoalkyl substituent, and to substituted 2-aminoimidazoles wherein the amino group bears a terminal heterocyclic group such as a triazolyl group which are formed through azide-alkyne Huisgen cycloaddition starting from said imidazo[1,2-a]pyrimidinium salts bearing an azidoalkyl substituent. The invention also relates to a class of N-(azidoalkyl)pyrimidin-2-amines useful as starting materials for the synthesis of said imidazo[1,2-a]pyrimidinium salts bearing an azidoalkyl substituent. The invention also relates to antimicrobial compositions that include a microbial biofilm formation inhibiting amount of such substituted 2-aminoimidazoles or imidazo[1,2-a]pyrimidinium salts in combination with excipients.
