Cobalt-Catalyzed Sustainable Synthesis of Benzimidazoles by Redox-Economical Coupling of o-Nitroanilines and Alcohols

, p. 12111 - 12119 (2019/10/02)
This study reveals cobalt-catalyzed sustainable synthesis of benzimidazoles by redox-economical coupling of o-nitroanilines and alcohols. The major advantage of this report is the use of a commercially available cheap cobalt catalyst to produce a wide variety of 2-substituted benzimidazoles by hydrogen autotransfer without using any additional external redox reagent and costly ligand system. A thorough mechanistic insight of the reaction is proposed by performing a series of control experiments.
Catalytic Oxidative Coupling of Primary Amines under Air: A Flexible Route to Benzimidazole Derivatives

Benzimidazoles are of fundamental importance in chemistry and biology, and the development of efficient, environmentally benign methods for their preparation remains a key challenge for organic chemists. In a biomimetic approach inspired by copper amine oxidases, we disclose herein the scope and factors influencing the success of the cooperative action of CuBr2 as electron-transfer mediator and a topaquinone-like substrate-selective catalyst in the oxidative cyclocondensation of primary amines with o-aminoanilines. This one-pot atom-economic multistep process, which works under green conditions with ambient air as the terminal oxidant, low loadings of catalyst, and equimolar amounts of commercially available amine substrates, is particularly suitable for the preparation of 1,2-disubstituted benzimidazoles. Furthermore, it allows the functionalization of nonactivated primary aliphatic amines, which are known to be challenging substrates for non-enzymatic catalytic aerobic systems.
Synthesis of benzimidazoles by PIDA-promoted direct C(sp2)-H imidation of N-arylamidines

A metal-free synthesis of diversified benzimidazoles from N-arylamidines through a phenyliodine(III) diacetate (PIDA) promoted intramolecular direct C(sp2)-H imidation has been developed. The reaction proceeds smoothly at 0 °C or ambient temperature to provide the desired products in good to excellent yields. The synthesis of 2-alkyl- or 2-alkyl-fused benzimidazoles, which are generally inaccessible by similar Pd- or Cu-catalyzed approaches, can also be achieved. Copyright
