Anti-inflammatory effect and inhibition of nitric oxide production by targeting COXs and iNOS enzymes with the 1,2-diphenylbenzimidazole pharmacophore

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

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.

Water extract of onion catalyst: An economical green route for the synthesis of 2-substituted and 1,2-disubstituted benzimidazole derivatives with high selectivity

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.

Tetrathienoanthracene-functionalized conjugated microporous polymers as an efficient, metal-free visible-light solid organocatalyst for heterogeneous photocatalysis

Owing to their advantages of superior inherent porosity, high chemical stability, light weight, and molecularly tunable optoelectronic properties, conjugated microporous polymers (CMPs) have been receiving increasing attention and research interest as pro

Bandgap engineering in benzotrithiophene-based conjugated microporous polymers: a strategy for screening metal-free heterogeneous photocatalysts

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.

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.

Cd-MOF@PVDF Mixed-Matrix Membrane with Good Catalytic Activity and Recyclability for the Production of Benzimidazole and Amino Acid Derivatives

Mixed-matrix membranes (MMMs) incorporating metal-organic framework crystalline fillers as heterogeneous catalysts for organic transformation reactions have attracted more attention in catalysis science. Herein, a new 3D cadmium metal-organic framework (H3O)·[Cd(dppa)] (1) was first synthesized using the rigid 4-(3,5-dicarboxylphenyl)picolinic acid (H3dppa) as an organic ligand under solvothermal conditions, exhibiting a novel 6,6-connected network and good tolerance to various solvents. After activation, 1 showed good catalytic reactivity and selectivity for the synthesis of benzimidazole derivatives, affording solvent-dependent catalytic activity. Then, using the microcrystals of 1 and poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) as raw materials, 1@PVDF MMMs were successfully prepared by polymer solution casting. Notably, the integration of MOF and PVDF endows the mixed-matrix membrane 1@PVDF with great advantages in terms of more dispersive Lewis acid catalytic sites and recyclability. As expected, 1@PVDF not only displays good catalytic activity comparable to that of activated 1 but also exhibits remarkable recyclability and continuous usability for the production of benzimidazole and α-or β-amino acid derivatives. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first time that a Cd-based MOF and MMMs have been applied as a catalyst for the production of a β-amino acid. The combination of catalytic MOF and PVDF provides a way to simplify the design of a flow reactor and reduce the costs of manufacturing.
