Versatility of Alternative Reaction Media: Water-Mediated Domino and Green Chemical Synthesis of Pyrimido[1,2-a]benzimidazole Under Nonconventional Conditions
摘要:
A convenient and clean water-mediated synthesis of a series of 4-amino-2-aryl-1,2-dihydro pyrimido[1,2-a]benzimidazoles (4) is reported using alternative nonconventional energy sources. The products are obtained in shorter times with excellent yields (78-89%) from the multicomponent reaction of 2-aminobenzimidazole (1), malononitrile/ethylcyanoacetate (2a/b), and carbonyl compounds (3). The reaction is found to be general with respect to the cyclic and acyclic carbonyl compounds. The procedure does not involve the use of any additional reagent/catalyst, produces no waste, and represents a green synthetic protocol with high atom economy.
