An efficient synthesis of 2-vinylbenzimidazoles from 1-(2-(benzimidazol-2-ylethyl)pyridinium salts using an anion-exchange resin
摘要:
Transformation of several 1-(2-benzimidazol-2-ylethyl)pyridinium salts, obtained by two different procedures, into their corresponding 2-vinylbenzimidazoles either using an anion-exchange resin (OH- form) or in the solid state is described. This approach now allows a facile entry into the almost unknown 2-vinylbenzimidazole monomers.
