An efficient one-pot procedure for the preparation of aminobenzimidazoles from dinitroaniline derivatives is described. The process helps to avoid the troublesome acetonitrile-mediated reductive ethylation reaction.

Parallel syntheses of 2-hydro-, 2-methyl-, and 2-methoxycarbonylimidazo-7,9-dimethoxycarbonyl analogues of the oxidation-reduction cofactor pyrroloquinoline quinone [4,5-dihydro-4,5-dioxo-1H-pyrrolo[2,3-f]quinoline-2,7,9-tricarboxylic acid] have been developed. The properties of the imidazolo analogues in relation to the corresponding pyrrole analogues will be important in assessing the origins of catalysis and biological activity in the cofactor, which has recently been shown to be a vitamin.
