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.

Aryl radical generation from the corresponding aryl halides using an electron donor and subsequent intramolecular cyclization with arenes could be an important advancement in contemporary biaryl synthesis. A green and practically useful synthetic protocol to access diverse six- and seven-membered biarylsultams especially with a free NH group including demonstration of a gram-scale synthesis is reported herein. The sulfoxylate anion radical (SO2-?), generated in situ from the reagents rongalite or sodium dithionite (Na2S2O4), was found to be the key single electron transfer agent forming aryl radicals from aryl halides, which upon intramolecular arylation gives biarylsultams with good to excellent yields. The approach features generation of aryl radicals that remained underexplored, use of a cheap and readily available industrial reagents, and transition metal-free, mild, and green reaction conditions.

A facile, eco-friendly, efficient, and recyclable heterogeneous catalyst is synthesized by immobilizing copper impregnated on mesoporous magnetic nanoparticles. The surface chemistry analysis of Fe3O4?CuO nanocomposites (NCs) by XRD and XPS demonstrates the synergistic effect between Fe3O4 and CuO nanoparticles, providing mass-transfer channels for the catalytic reaction. TEM images clearly indicate the impregnation of CuO onto mesoporous Fe3O4. This hydrothermally synthesized eco-friendly and highly efficient Fe3O4?CuO NCs are applied as a magnetically retrievable heterogeneous catalyst for the N-formylation of wide range of aliphatic, aromatic, polyaromatic and heteroaromatic amines using formic acid as a formylating agent at room temperature. The catalytic activity of the NCs for N-formylation is attributable to the synergistic effect between Fe3O4 and CuO nanoparticles. The N-formylated product is further employed for the synthesis of biologically active quinolone moieties.

α-Glucosidase inhibitors (AGIs) are used as medicines for the treatment of diabetes mellitus. The α-Glucosidase enzyme is present in the small intestine and is responsible for the breakdown of carbohydrates into sugars. The process results in an increase in blood sugar levels. AGIs slow down the digestion of carbohydrates that is helpful in controlling the sugar levels in the blood after meals. Among heterocyclic compounds, benzimidazole moiety is recognized as a potent bioactive scaffold for its wide range of biologically active derivatives. The aim of this study is to explore the α-glucosidase inhibition ability of benzimidazolium salts. In this study, two novel series of benzimidazolium salts, i.e., 1-benzyl-3-{2-(substituted) amino-2-oxoethyl}-1H-benzo[d]imidazol-3-ium bromide 9a–m and 1-benzyl-3-{2-substituted) amino-2-oxoethyl}-2-methyl-1H-benzo[d] imidazol-3-ium bromide 10a–m were screened for their in vitro α-glucosidase inhibitory potential. These compounds were synthesized through a multistep procedure and were characterized by1H-NMR,13C-NMR, and EI-MS techniques. Compound 10d was identified as the potent α-glucosidase inhibitor among the series with an IC50 value of 14 ± 0.013 μM, which is 4-fold higher than the standard drug, acarbose. In addition, compounds 10a, 10e, 10h, 10g, 10k, 10l, and 10m also exhibited pronounced potential for α-glucosidase inhibition with IC50 value ranging from 15 ± 0.037 to 32.27 ± 0.050 μM when compared with the reference drug acarbose (IC50 = 58.8 ± 0.12 μM). A molecular docking study was performed to rationalize the binding interactions of potent inhibitors with the active site of the α-glucosidase enzyme.

The new benzimidazolium derivative (SM-1) salt with ion exchange from the (SM-0) was fabricated and characterized by protonnuclear magnetic resonance (1H-NMR), carbon-nuclear magnetic resonance (13C-NMR), Fourier-Transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), electrospray ionization (EIS-MS), thermal analysis (TG), cyclic voltammetry (CV), and ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy (UV-vis), for electrolytes (liquid or dried) in the DSSC charge transportation mechanism. Also, the influence of ion exchange from chloride to iodine in the synthesized electrolytes, compared to other electrolytes (conventional or commercial), was investigated about DSSC performance efficiency. When using as a liquid electrolyte (SM-1), the power conversion efficiency (n) of the working DSSC device was recorded as 1.980% and it was observed that the performances of DSSCs increased up to 56% when comparing dried electrolyte for SM-1 without conventional redox material (I-/I3 -). In the future, different molecular modifications of this type of benzimidazole derivatives or mixtures with conventional redox couples may further improve the performance of DSSC devices.

Schistosomiasis is one of the neglected diseases causing considerable morbidity and mortality throughout the world. Microtubules with its main component, tubulin play a vital role in helminthes including schistosomes. Benzimidazoles represent potential drug candidates by binding β-tubulin. The study aimed to generate a homology model for the β-tubulin of S. mansoni using the crystal structure of O vis aries (Sheep) β-tubulin (PDB ID: 3N2G D) as a template, then different β-tubulin models were generated and two previously reported benzimidazole derivatives (NBTP-F and NBTP-OH) were docked to the generated models, the binding results indicated that both S. mansoni, S. haematobium were susceptible to the two NBTP derivatives. Additionally, three mutated versions of S. mansoni β-tubulin wild-type were generated and the mutation (F185Y) seems to slightly enhance the ligand binding. Dynamics simulation experiments showed S. haematobium β-tubulin is highly susceptible to the tested compounds; similar to S. mansoni, moreover, mutated models of S. mansoni β-tubulin altered its NBTPs susceptibility. Moreover, additional seven new benzimidazole derivatives were synthesized and tested by molecular docking on the generated model binding site of S. mansoni β-tubulin and were found to have good interaction inside the pocket.

A new series of 4-(1H-benzo[d]imidazol-1-yl)pyrimidin-2-amine linked sulfonamide derivatives 12a–n was designed and synthesized according to the structure of well-established V600EBRAF inhibitors. The terminal sulfonamide moiety was linked to the pyrimidine ring via either ethylamine or propylamine bridge. The designed series was tested at fixed concentration (1 μM) against V600EBRAF, finding that 12e, 12i and 12l exhibited the strongest inhibitory activity among all target compounds and 12l had the lowest IC50 of 0.49 μM. They were further screened on NCI 60 cancer cell lines to reveal that 12e showed the most significant growth inhibition against multiple cancer cell lines. Therefore, cell cycle analysis of 12e was conducted to investigate the effect on cell cycle progression. Finally, virtual docking studies was performed to gain insights for the plausible binding modes of vemurafenib, 12i, 12e and 12l.

D-fructose, a biomass-derived carbohydrate has been identified as an environmentally benign C2 synthon in the preparation of synthetically useful 2-hydroxymethylbenzimidazole derivatives by coupling with 1,2-phenylenediamines. Proof of concept was established by synthesizing 23 examples using BF3.OEt2 (20 mol%), TBHP (5.5 M, decane) (1.0 equiv.) in CH3CN at 90 °C for 1 h. The pivotal features of this method include metal-free conditions, short time, good functional group tolerance, gram scale feasibility and the synthesis of benzimidazole fused 1,4-oxazine. Control studies with conventional C2 synthons did not produce the desired product, thus suggesting a new reaction pathway from D-fructose.

This work represents the design and synthesis of efficient sulfonated cobalt ferrite solid acid catalyst. The synthesized solid acid green catalyst was characterized using various techniques viz. FT-IR, powder XRD, SEM, TEM and VSM. The obtained catalyst was used to synthesize biologically significant 2-substituted benzimidazole derivatives by condensation between o-phenylenediamine with various aromatic, aliphatic and heterocyclic aldehydes. High yield (up to 98 %), short reaction time (10?25 min), mild reaction condition, wide functional group tolerance, easy work-up procedure and excellent values of green chemistry metrices such as lower E factor (0.126), high RME value (88.83 %), carbon efficiency (100 %) and high atom economy (AE) value (90.65 %), are some salient features of the present catalytic system. Moreover, the catalyst recovery by simply using an external magnet and catalyst reusability up to 7 times without any significant loss in catalytic efficiency are some additional remarkable features of the current protocol.
