Copper(I)-Catalyzed Synthesis of Substituted 2-Mercapto Benzimidazoles
摘要:
An efficient method for the preparation of various substituted 2-mercapto benzimidazoles from their corresponding thioureas has been developed. S-Alkylation of thioureas followed by Cu-catalyzed intramolecular N-arylation furnished substituted 2-mercapto benzimidazoles in high yields and short reaction times. Furthermore, 2-mercapto benzimidazoles substituted with a p-methoxybenzyl group allowed access to benzimidazole thiones.

An unprecedented copper acetate–DMSO promoted methylthiolation of arenes and heteroarenes in the presence of air has been developed. The reaction is highly regioselective under the directing group influence of pyridine and pyrimidine functional units and gives the thiomethylated product in moderate to high yields.
