NMR Studies of 2-Aryl Derivatives of Benzimidazole, Benzimidazolium Ion, and Benzimidazoline
摘要:
A series of 2-arylbenzimidazoles, 2-aryl-1,3-dimethylbenzimidazolium iodides, and 2-aryl-1,3-dimethylbenzimidazolines were prepared and their NMR spectra were examined. The substituent parameters were calculated for 2-benzimidazolyl, 2-benzimidazoliumyl, and 2-benzimidazolinyl groups on the chemical shifts of the protons and the carbons of benzene ring. The 2-benzimidazoliumyl group was found to cause a significant up-field shift of the ipso-carbon signal and down-field shift for the ortho- and para-carbon signals. On the other hand, the 2-benzimidazolyl and the 2-benzimidazolinyl groups cause down-field shift of the ipso-carbon signals but cause almost negligible change on the other carbon signals.
A Scalable Route to the SMO Receptor Antagonist SEN826: Benzimidazole Synthesis via Enhanced in Situ Formation of the Bisulfite–Aldehyde Complex
摘要:
A practical and scalable route to the SMO antagonist SEN826 1 is described herein, including the discussion of an alternative approach to the synthesis of the target molecule. The optimized route consists of five chemical steps. A new and efficient access to the key intermediate 6 via the bisulfite-aldehyde complex was developed, significantly enhancing the yields and reducing costs. As a result, a synthetic procedure for preparation of multihundred gram quantities of the final product has been developed.
