Efficient one-pot conversion of 6-methyl-2-nitroaniline into 1-alkyloxy-2-alkyl-4-methyl-, 1-benzyloxy-2-phenyl-4-methyl-, and 1-allyloxy-4-methyl-2-vinyl-benzimidazole

Article abstract of DOI:10.1080/00397919508013418

6-Methyl-2-nitroaniline reacts with alkyl, benzyl and allyl halides and NaH as base, to afford 1-alkoxy-2-alkyl-, 1-benzyloxy-2-aryl- and 1-allyloxy-2-vinyl-benzimidazoles in good to excellent yields (73-98%), via a novel one-pot N-alkylation-heterocycliz
