Selenium-Catalyzed Carbonylative Synthesis of 2-Benzimidazolones from 2-Nitroanilines with TFBen as the CO Source

A selenium-catalyzed carbonylative reaction for the synthesis of 2-benzimidazolones from 2-nitroanilines has been developed. In this strategy, to avoid the usage of toxic CO gas, TFBen (benzene-1,3,5-triyl triformate) was used as a solid and stable CO precursor, and a variety of desired 2-benzimidazolones were produced in moderate to excellent yields.

Chan-Lam cross-coupling reaction based on the Cu2S/TMEDA system

A catalyst based on the readily available Cu2S/TMEDA system using a stable copper(I) source was developed for the Chan-Lam cross-coupling reaction. The capability of the catalyst was demonstrated with 1H-benzo[d]imidazol-2(3H)-one, 1H-benzo[d]imidazole, and 1H-imidazole together with electron-deficient, electron-rich, and sterically demanding boronic acids at room temperature in the presence of atmospheric oxygen to give the cross-coupling products in moderate to excellent yields. In addition, the coupling reaction of 1H-benzo[d]imidazole with several pinacol or neopentylglycol boronates indicated further potential of the catalyst. The reaction conditions tolerate the hydroxyl and bromo functional groups. The catalytic system also enables to synthesize the mono-N-substituted anilines from primary aliphatic amines. However, the two model compounds for the secondary and aromatic amines, piperidine and aniline, do not react. Two sterically demanding products with the restricted C–N bond rotation, synthesized by the N-arylation of 1H-benzo[d]imidazol-2(3H)-one with o-tolylboronic acid, enabled to confirm the atropisomers prepared by the Chan-Lam cross-coupling reaction. Furthermore, an example of one-pot Chan-Lam and Suzuki-Miyaura reaction has been reported.

Discovery of novel, orally available benzimidazoles as melanin concentrating hormone receptor 1 (MCHR1) antagonists

Melanin concentrating hormone (MCH) is an important mediator of energy homeostasis and plays role in several disorders such as obesity, stress, depression and anxiety. The synthesis and biological evaluation of novel benzimidazole derivatives as MCHR1 antagonists are described. The in vivo proof of principle for weight loss with a lead compound from this series is exemplified.

Benzimidazolone-based serotonin 5-HT1A or 5-HT7R ligands: Synthesis and biological evaluation

A new group of serotoninergic 5-HT1A or 5-HT7 receptor ligands was identified. These compounds were designed and synthesized on a benzimidazolone scaffold and they enrich the well-known arylpiperazine class of 5-HT ligands. Diverse p

Copper-catalyzed intramolecular cyclization to N-substituted 1,3-dihydrobenzimidazol-2-ones

(Chemical Equation Presented) An efficient and convenient method was developed for preparing N-substituted 1,3-dihydrobenzimidazol-2-ones from Na?2-substituted N-(2-halophenyl)ureas via a CuI/DBU-catalyzed cyclization in DMSO under microwave heating. High yields were obtained and a variety of functional groups were tolerated under these conditions, including Na?2-aryl, alkyl, heterocyclic, various N-(substituted 2-halophenyl) and N-(2-iodopyridyl)ureas. ? 2008 American Chemical Society.
