N-Chlorosuccinimide/Sodium Hydroxide-Mediated Synthesis of Benzimidazoles from Amidines under Mild Conditions
摘要:
A convenient room-temperature one-pot procedure for the preparation of benzimidazoles derivatives from N-arylamidines has been developed. The reaction of N-aryl-N'-chloro amidines, generated by the treatment of N-arylamidines with N-chlorosuccinimide, in presence of sodium hydroxide provides benzimidazoles in good to excellent yields. Nitrogen anion generated in situ from succinimide (by-product of the chlorination step using NCS) and hydroxide anion was found to be highly effective as Bronsted base to promote the cyclization into benzimidazole of N-aryl-N'-chloroamidine.

New tetrahydrobenzimidazoles were synthesized using a simple method from p‐benzoquinone and N‐arylamidines, and their cytotoxic potential was evaluated. Among them, three are cytotoxic in the µm range.
Novel and efficient base-mediated N-alkylation and amidation of amidines with alcohols have been developed, which can be carried out in one-pot reaction conditions, which allows for the synthesis of a wide range of N-alkyl amines and free amides in good to excellent yields with high atom economy. In contrast to borrowing hydrogen/hydrogen autotransfer or oxidative-type N-alkylation reactions, in which
