A rapid and efficient one-pot method for the synthesis of 2-(N-substituted)-aminobenzimidazoles is described. The reaction is promoted by dithiocarbamate and catalytic CuO. This procedure is general and can be applied to synthesize many potential drug candidates.

An efficient one-pot procedure for the synthesis of 2-aminobenzimidazoles from isoselenocyanates and various substituted diamines is described. Precipitation of elemental selenium from the reaction mixture greatly simplifies the purification procedure and also allows it to be re-used for preparation of isoselenocyanates. A possible mechanism for the formation of 2-aminobenzimidazoles is proposed.
Synthesis and anti-staphylococcal activity of a number of substituted 2-anilinobenzimidazoles, benzothiazoles and benzoxazoles are reported. The anti-staphylococcal activities were evaluated in standard in vitro MIC assay method. While anilinobenzimidazole derivatives 11-45 showed very potent anti-staphylococcal activities (greatest activity with an MIC value of 0.095 mu g/mL), none of the 2-anilinobenzothiazoles and benzoxazole derivatives exhibited inhibitory activity. QSAR analysis of the anilinobenzimidazoles was studied on the relationship between the anti-staphylococcal activity (MIC in mu g/ml) and extrapolated log k(w) values. (c) 2007 Elsevier Masson SAS.
