Organometallics with N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) ligands have triggered major interest in inorganic medicinal chemistry. Complexes of the type Rh(I)(NHC)(COD)X (where X is Cl or I, COD is cyclooctadiene, and NHC is a dimethylbenzimidazolylidene) represent a promising type of new metallodrugs that have been explored by advanced biomedical methods only recently. In this work, we have synthesized and characterized several complexes of this type. As observed by mass spectrometry, these complexes remained stable over at least 3 h in aqueous solution, after which hydrolysis of the halido ligands occurred and release of the NHC ligand was evident. Effects against mitochondria and general cell tumor metabolism were noted at higher concentrations, whereas phosphorylation of HSP27, p38, ERK1/2, FAK, and p70S6K was induced substantially already at lower exposure levels. Regarding the antiproliferative activity in tumor cells, a clear preference for iodido over chlorido secondary ligands was noted, as well as effects of the substituents of the NHC ligand.

It is a challenging task to simultaneously achieve selective depolymerization and valorization of lignin due to their complex structure and relatively stable bonds. We herein report an efficient depolymerization strategy that employs 2,3-dichloro-5,6-dicyano-1,4-benzoquinone (DDQ) as oxidant/catalyst to selectively convert different oxidized lignin models to a wide variety of 2-phenylbenzimidazole-based compounds in up to 94 % yields, by reacting with o-phenylenediamines with varied substituents. This method could take full advantage of both Cβ and/or Cγ atom in lignin structure to furnish the desirable products instead of forming byproducts, thus exhibiting high atom economy. Furthermore, this strategy can effectively transform both the oxidized hardwood (birch) and softwood (pine) lignin into the corresponding degradation products in up to 45 wt% and 30 wt%, respectively. Through a “one-pot” process, we have successfully realized the oxidation/depolymerization/valorization of natural birch lignin at the same time and produced the benzimidazole derivatives in up to 67 wt% total yields.

Paragraph 0029-0032, (2021/06/06)
The invention discloses a method for synthesizing benzimidazole from carbon dioxide and an o-phenylenediamine compound, the method is characterized in that an amino-containing functionalized ordered mesoporous polymer is used as a catalyst, o-phenylenediamine and carbon dioxide are used as raw materials, dimethylaminoborane is used as a hydrogen reduction reagent, carbon dioxide and the o-phenylenediamine compound are catalyzed to react in an NMP solvent to generate a benzimidazole compound, wherein the dosage of a catalyst is 0.01-1mol% based on the nitrogen content of the o-phenylenediamine compound; the filling pressure of the carbon dioxide is 0.1-2MPa; the reaction temperature is 60-180DEG C; the molar ratio of the catalyst to the NMP is 1:50-100. Compared with the prior art, the catalyst has the advantages of simple preparation, high catalytic activity, capability of catalyzing the reaction of carbon dioxide and the o-phenylenediamine compound under mild conditions to generate benzimidazole and derivatives thereof, and the like.
