Two new C-2-symmetric benzoimidazolium tetrafluoroborates 19 and 20 were prepared from (1S)-(+)-camphorquinone 1 in seven and eight steps, respectively. Thus, N-1-((1S,2R,3S,4R)-1,7,7-trimethyl-4'-methylenedihydro-3'H-spiro[bicyclo[2.2.1]heptane-2,2'-furan]-3-yl)benzene-1.2-diamine 11, available in three steps from 1, was first condensed with 1 to afford amino imines 12 and 13/13'. [3 + 2] Cycloaddition of trimethylenemethane (TMM) to 12 or 13/13' gave cycloadduct 17, which was successfully reduced to diamine 4 using NaCNBH3. Catalytic hydrogenation of methylene groups of 4 gave the methyl analogue 18. Finally, cyclization of diamines 4 and 18 with triethyl orthoformate furnished the desired C-2-symmetric benzoimidazolium tetrafluoroborates 19 and 20, respectively. The structures were determined by NMR techniques, NOESY spectroscopy, and X-ray diffraction. (C) 2008 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
