Being the base of several non-communicable diseases, including cancer, inflammation is a complex process generated by tissue damage or change in the body homeostatic state. Currently, the therapeutic treatment for chronic inflammation related diseases is

An efficient, environmental friendly and substrate controlled method of synthesis of 2-substituted benzimidazole derivatives 3 and 1,2-disubstituted benzimidazole derivatives 4 with high selectivity has been achieved from the reaction of o-phenylenediamine 1 and aldehydes 2 in the presence of water extract of onion and selecting suitable reaction medium. This method is widely applicable for variety of aldehydes such as aromatic/aliphatic/heterocyclic aldehydes and 1,2-diamines to afford 2-substituted benzimidazole derivatives 3 and 1,2-disubstituted benzimidazole derivatives 4 in good to excellent yields (up to 96%). The developed method of water extract of onion catalysis produced 2-substituted benzimidazoles 3 from aromatic aldehydes having electron-withdrawing groups, whereas aromatic aldehydes bearing electron donating groups selectively furnished 1,2-disubstituted benzimidazole 4 derivatives. The process described here has several advantages of cheap, low energy consumption, commercially available starting materials, operational simplicity and nontoxic catalyst. The use of water extract of onion makes this present methodology green and giving a useful contribution to the existing methods available for the preparation of benzimidazole derivatives. In addition, Hammett correlation of substituent constant (σ) vs percentage (%) yield has been established.

Metal-free conjugated microporous polymers (CMPs) as visible-light active and recyclable photocatalysts offer a green and sustainable alternative to classical metal-based photosensitizers. However, the strategy for screening CMP-based heterogeneous photocatalysts has not been interpreted up to now. Herein, we present a general strategy for obtaining excellent solid photocatalysts, which is to implement bandgap engineering in the same series of materials. As a proof of concept, three conjugated porous materials containing benzo[1,2-b:3,4-b′:5,6-b′′]trithiophene building blocks (BTT-CMP1, BTT-CMP2 and BTT-CMP3) were successfully constructed. They possess permanent porosity with a large specific surface area and excellent stability. By changing the linker between benzotrithiophene units, the bandgaps, energy levels and photoelectric performances including the absorption, transient photocurrent responses and photocatalytic performances of BTT-CMPs could be handily modulated. Indeed, BTT-CMP2 displayed the best catalytic activity for visible-light-induced synthesis of benzimidazoles among the three CMP materials, even higher than that of small molecule photocatalysts. As a metal-free photocatalyst, interestingly, the screened BTT-CMP2 also showed extensive substrate applicability and outstanding recyclability. Additionally, we have the opinion that this strategy will prove to be a guiding principle for screening superior CMP-based photocatalysts and broaden their application fields.
