Copper Catalyzed N-Arylation of Amidines with Aryl Boronic Acids and One-Pot Synthesis of Benzimidazoles by a Chan–Lam–Evans N-Arylation and C–H Activation/C–N Bond Forming Process
摘要:
Mono-N-arylation of benzamidines 1 with aryl boronic acids 2 was effectively achieved in the presence of a catalytic amount of Cu(OAc)(2) and NaOPiv under mild aerobic conditions. Combining this step with an intramolecular direct C-H bond functionalization, catalyzed by the same catalytic system but under oxygen at 120 degrees C, afforded benzimidazoles 3 in good to excellent yields.
