An electrochemical method for the synthesis of N-substituted 2-aminobenzimidazoles through a NaI-mediated desulfurization–cyclization process is reported. This electrosynthesis method utilizes cost-effective NaI as both a mediator and an electrolyte in a catalytic amount (0.2 equiv), replacing traditional oxidizing reagents. N-Substituted o-phenylenediamines and isothiocyanates undergo a thiourea
报道了一种通过 NaI 介导的脱硫环化过程合成N-取代 2-氨基苯并咪唑的电化学方法。这种电合成方法利用经济高效的 NaI 作为介体和催化量(0.2 当量)的电解质,取代了传统的氧化剂。 N-取代的邻苯二胺和异硫氰酸酯经过硫脲形成/环化/脱硫过程,在单个反应容器中提供N-取代的2-氨基苯并咪唑(55个实例,产率高达98%)。重要的是,这种电化学方法适用于克级合成,保持反应效率。
