We described herein the use of glycerol as solvent in the catalyst-free synthesis of benzodiazepines and benzimidazoles. This simple and efficient method furnishes the corresponding 1-H-1,5-benzodiazepines and 1,2-disubstituted benzimidazoles in good yiel

A series of 2-p-tolyl-1H-benzo[d]imidazole derivatives were synthesized and characterized. For finding an effective anticancer drug, which could be used in future generations, the developed heterocyclic compounds were screened in the human epithelial breast adenocarcinoma cell line (MCF-7) and human liver epithelial hepatocellular carcinoma cell line (HepG2) using the MTT assay method. Two positive control drugs were used for comparison with the compounds. The substituents on the 1- and 2-positions of the benzimidazole core had an important effect on the antiproliferation of cancerous cells. According to the results obtained, a compound, namely, 1-(4-methylbenzyl)-2-p-tolyl-1H-benzo[d]imidazole, which has electron donating groups (CH3) in the para position of a phenyl ring, showed higher cytotoxic activities compared to other compounds towards liver and breast cell lines. The compounds were found to have more cytotoxicity in HepG2 rather than MCF-7.

Herein we report nickel-catalyzed sustainable synthesis of a few chosen five-membered fused nitrogen heterocycles such as benzimidazole, purine, benzothiazole, and benzoxazole via acceptorless dehydrogenative functionalization of alcohols. Using a bench stable, easy to prepare, and inexpensive Ni(ii)-catalyst, [Ni(MeTAA)] (1a), featuring a tetraaza macrocyclic ligand (tetramethyltetraaza[14]annulene (MeTAA)), a wide variety of polysubstituted benzimidazole, purine, benzothiazole, and benzoxazole derivatives were prepared via dehydrogenative coupling of alcohols with 1,2-diaminobenzene, 4,5-diaminopyrimidine, 2-aminothiphenol, and 2-aminophenol, respectively. A wide array of benzimidazoles were also prepared via a borrowing hydrogen approach involving alcohols as hydrogen donors and 2-nitroanilines as hydrogen acceptors. A few control experiments were performed to understand the reaction mechanism.
