Efficient syntheses of 2-fluoroalkylbenzimidazoles and -benzothiazoles
摘要:
We report an efficient one-step route to 2-fluoroalkylbenzimidazoles and -benzothiazoles via the condensation of fluorinated carboxylic acids and aromatic diamines or aminothiophenols. Additionally, we describe the syntheses of fluoroalkyl-azabenzimidazoles, -purines, and -imidazolopyrazines. This method is high-yielding with broad scope and is operationally simple with potential application to parallel synthesis. (C) 2012 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
Synthesis of 2-trifluoromethyl benzimidazoles, benzoxazoles, and benzothiazoles <i>via</i> condensation of diamines or amino(thio)phenols with CF<sub>3</sub>CN
method is developed for the synthesis of 2-trifluoromethyl benzimidazoles, benzoxazoles, and benzothiazoles in good to excellent yields by the condensation of diamines or amino(thio)phenols with in situ generated CF3CN. Additionally, the synthetic utility of the 2-trifluoromethyl benzimidazole and benzoxazole products is demonstrated via gram scale synthesis. The mechanisticstudy suggests that the reaction
