An Unexpected Formation of 2-Arylbenzimidazoles from α,α-Diiodo-α’-acetoxyketones and o-Phenylenediamines

An unusual reactivity of the α,α-diiodo-α’-acetoxyketones with o-phenylenediamines is reported through the formation of 2-arylbenzimidazoles. A systematic study through a series of fruitful control experiments and isolation of key intermediates unravelled the unprecedented domino mechanism. This process involves a stepwise two-carbon fragmentation pathway through domino and sequential amidation–aziridination–decarbonylation–I2-mediated aminative cyclization–oxidation reactions. This strategy employs no additives like oxidant, metal catalyst, bases, and represents yet another novel reactivity profile of the building blocks α,α-diiodo-α’-acetoxyketones.

1-Methylimidazolium ionic liquid supported on Ni@zeolite-Y: fabrication and performance as a novel multi-functional nanocatalyst for one-pot synthesis of 2-aminothiazoles and 2-aryl benzimidazoles

In the present study, 1-methyl-3-(3-trimethoxysilylpropyl)-1H-imidazol-3-ium chloride-supported Ni@zeolite-Y-based nanoporous materials (Ni@zeolite-Im-IL) were synthesized and their structures were confirmed using different characterization techniques such as FT-IR, FE-SEM, EDX, XRD, BET and TGA-DTG analyses. In order to synthesize this multi-functional nano-system, zeolite-NaY was modified first, with exchanged Ni2+ ions and 3-chloropropyltriethoxysilane (CPTES) as a coupling reagent and then functionalized to imidazolium chloride ionic liquid by N-methylimidazole. New multi-functional nano-material of Ni@zeolite-Im-IL demonstrated high activity in the catalytic synthesis of 2-aminothiazoles 3a–l by one-pot reaction of methylcarbonyls, thiourea and iodine at 80?°C in DMSO with good to excellent yields (85–98%). Also, the catalytic synthesis of 2-aryl benzimidazoles, 6a–m was performed by the condensational reaction of o-arylendiamine and aromatic aldehydes in EtOH at room temperature with excellent yields (90–98%). Advantages of this efficient synthetic strategy include higher purity and shorter reaction time, excellent yield, easy isolation of products, the good stability, activity and feasible reusability of the metallic ionic liquid nanocatalyst. These benefits have made this method more compatible with the principles of green chemistry. Graphical abstract: [Figure not available: see fulltext.]

H2 Activation with Co Nanoparticles Encapsulated in N-Doped Carbon Nanotubes for Green Synthesis of Benzimidazoles

Co nanoparticles (NPs) encapsulated in N-doped carbon nanotubes (Co@NC900) are systematically investigated as a potential alternative to precious Pt-group catalysts for hydrogenative heterocyclization reactions. Co@NC900 can efficiently catalyze hydrogenative coupling of 2-nitroaniline to benzaldehyde for synthesis of 2-phenyl-1H-benzo[d]imidazole with >99 % yield at ambient temperature in one step. The robust Co@NC900 catalyst can be easily recovered by an external magnetic field after the reaction and readily recycled for at least six times without any evident decrease in activity. Kinetic experiments indicate that Co@NC900-promoted hydrogenation is the rate-determining step with a total apparent activation energy of 41±1 kJ mol?1. Theoretical investigations further reveal that Co@NC900 can activate both H2 and the nitro group of 2-nitroaniline. The observed energy barrier for H2 dissociation is only 2.70 eV in the rate-determining step, owing to the presence of confined Co NPs in Co@NC900. Potential industrial application of the earth-abundant and non-noble transition metal catalysts is also explored for green and efficient synthesis of heterocyclic compounds.

Benzotrithiophene and triphenylamine based covalent organic frameworks as heterogeneous photocatalysts for benzimidazole synthesis

Metal-free covalent organic frameworks (COFs) as visible-light active and recyclable photocatalysts afford an eco-friendly and sustainable option to classical photosensitizers, which usually require noble metals (iridium, ruthenium, rhodium, etc.) to produce photocatalytic activity. Most classical small molecule photosensitizers have poor recyclability with certain limitations. As a result, it is of great significance to develop a metal-free and easily recyclable COF photocatalyst. In this study, we designed and synthesized a new type of COF photocatalyst (BTT-TPA-COF) in which benzotrithiophene and triphenylamine units are alternately connected. It has high specific surface area, permanent porosity and good stability. In addition, this design strategy can effectively adjust the band gap, energy level and photoelectric performance of BTT-TPA-COF. As a metal-free photocatalyst, BTT-TPA-COF exhibits high-efficiency photocatalytic activity, excellent substrate tolerance and excellent recyclability for the synthesis of 2-arylbenzimidazole compounds. This research not only puts forward a design strategy for high-efficiency photocatalysts, but also broadens the application range of COF materials in photocatalytic organic reactions.

s-Tetrazine-functionalized hyper-crosslinked polymers for efficient photocatalytic synthesis of benzimidazoles

Developing green-safe, efficient and recyclable catalysts is crucial for the chemical industry. So far, organic photocatalysis has been proved to be an environmentally friendly and energy-efficient synthetic technology compared with traditional metal catalysis. As a versatile catalytic platform, hyper-crosslinked polymers (HCPs) with large surface area and high stability are easily prepared. In this report, we successfully constructed two porous HCP photocatalysts (TZ-HCPs) featurings-tetrazine units and surface areas larger than 700 m2g?1through Friedel-Crafts alkylation reactions. The rational energy-band structures and coexisting micro- and mesopores endow TZ-HCPs with excellent activities to realize the green synthesis of benzimidazoles (28 examples, up to 99% yield, 0.5-4.0 h) in ethanol. Furthermore, at least 21 iterative catalytic runs mediated by TZ-HCP1D were performed efficiently, with 96-99% yield. This study of TZ-HCPs sheds light on the wide-ranging prospects of application of HCPs as metal-free and green photocatalysts for the preparation of fine chemicals.
