An environmental friendly, efficient, and easy to operate strategy for synthesizing of benzo[4,5]imidazo[2,1-a]isoindole and 1,2-dialkyl-2,3- dihydrobenzimidazoles via acid-promoted coupling of dialdehyde and o-diaminobenzene under metal-free conditions is described. A series of products were generated in good yields under mild conditions.

We demonstrate exceptional levels of regioselectivity in the tandem, animation reactions between 1,2-differentiated dihaloarenes and N-substituted amidines, The regiochemical outcome of this Cul-catalyzed reaction is achieved through a combination of N1/N2 chemoselectivity on the amidine and reactivity-controlled X1/X2 chemoselectivity on the 1,2-dihaloarene. This reaction proves to be fairly general for the regiospecific synthesis of 1,2-substituted benzimidazoles.
