We present an operationally simple redox coupling for the synthesis of N-1 substituted benzimidazoles using feedstock building block 2-nitroaniline derivatives as the precursors and methanol as the C1 source. Higher atom, step, and redox economies and excellent regioselectivity were achieved compared with conventional synthesis using diaminobenzene and formic acid derivatives.
我们提出了一种操作简单的氧化还原偶联,用于合成 N-1 取代的苯并咪唑,使用原料构建块 2-硝基苯胺衍生物作为前体,甲醇作为 C 1源。与使用二氨基苯和甲酸衍生物的常规合成相比,实现了更高的原子、步骤和氧化还原经济性以及出色的区域选择性。
