Synthesis of 2-arylbenzimidazoles under mild conditions catalyzed by a heteropolyacid-containing task-specific ionic liquid and catalyst investigation by electrospray (tandem) mass spectrometry

A task-specific ionic liquid constituted by a Bronsted acid (1-(3-sulfopropyl)-3-methyl-imidazolium hydrogen sulfate) as the cation, namely MSI, and by [PW12O40]3- as the triply charged counter-anion, namely PW (a heteropolyacid derivative), was used as an efficient catalyst for the condensation reaction between aldehydes and o-phenylenediamines.

Synthesis and in vitro α-chymotrypsin inhibitory activity of 6-chlorobenzimidazole derivatives

A library of benzimidazole derivatives 1–20 were synthesized, and studied for their α-chymotrypsin (α-CT) inhibitory activity in vitro. Kinetics and molecular docking studies were performed to identify the type of inhibition. Compound 1 was found to be a good inhibitor of α-chymotrypsin enzyme (IC50?=?14.8?±?0.1?μM, Ki?=?16.4?μM), when compared with standard chymostatin (IC50?=?5.7?±?0.13?μM). Compounds 2–8, 15, 17, and 18 showed significant inhibitory activities. All the inhibitors were found to be competitive inhibitors, except compound 17, which was a mixed type inhibitor. The substituents (R) in para and ortho positions of phenyl ring B, apparently played a key role in the inhibitory potential of the series. Compounds 1–20 were also studied for their cytotoxicity profile by using 3T3 mouse fibroblast cells and compounds 3, 5, 6, 8, 12–14, 16, 17, 19, and 20 were found to be cytotoxic. Molecular docking was performed on the most active members of the series in comparison to the standard compound, chymostatin, to identify the most likely binding modes. The compounds reported here can serve as templates for further studies for new inhibitors of α-chymotrypsin and other chymotrypsin-like serine proteases enzymes.[Figure presented]

One-Pot Transformation of Lignin and Lignin Model Compounds into Benzimidazoles

It is a challenging task to simultaneously achieve selective depolymerization and valorization of lignin due to their complex structure and relatively stable bonds. We herein report an efficient depolymerization strategy that employs 2,3-dichloro-5,6-dicyano-1,4-benzoquinone (DDQ) as oxidant/catalyst to selectively convert different oxidized lignin models to a wide variety of 2-phenylbenzimidazole-based compounds in up to 94 % yields, by reacting with o-phenylenediamines with varied substituents. This method could take full advantage of both Cβ and/or Cγ atom in lignin structure to furnish the desirable products instead of forming byproducts, thus exhibiting high atom economy. Furthermore, this strategy can effectively transform both the oxidized hardwood (birch) and softwood (pine) lignin into the corresponding degradation products in up to 45 wt% and 30 wt%, respectively. Through a “one-pot” process, we have successfully realized the oxidation/depolymerization/valorization of natural birch lignin at the same time and produced the benzimidazole derivatives in up to 67 wt% total yields.

Selective C-C bonds formation, N-alkylation and benzo[d]imidazoles synthesis by a recyclable zinc composite

Earth abundant metals are much less expensive, promising, valuable metals and could be served as catalysts for the borrowing hydrogen reaction, dehydrogenation and heterocycles synthesis, instead of noble metals. The uniformly dispersed zinc composites were designed, synthesized and carefully characterized by means of XPS, EDS, TEM and XRD. The resulting zinc composite showed good catalytic activity for the N-alkylation of amines with amines, ketones with alcohols in water under base-free conditions, while unsaturated carbonyl compounds could also be synthesized by tuning the reaction conditions. Importantly, it was the first time to realize the synthesis of 2-aryl-1H-benzo[d]imidazole derivatives by using this zinc composite under green conditions. Meanwhile, this zinc catalyst could be easily recovered and reused for at least five times.

Nickel catalyzed sustainable synthesis of benzazoles and purines: Via acceptorless dehydrogenative coupling and borrowing hydrogen approach

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.

Functional POM-catalyst for selective oxidative dehydrogenative couplings under aerobic conditions

Development of selective and efficient reusable catalytic systems for sustainable chemical production under benign conditions is attractive and received much attention. Herein, we report a rod-shaped octadecyl trimethylammonium functionalized Keggin-type polyoxometalate [PMO12O40] hybrids (OTA-POM) as an efficient heterogeneous catalyst for selective oxidative dehydrogenative couplings under aerobic conditions without any additive or external base. The catalyst recovery and subsequent five successive recyclability studies of hybrid POM confirms the heterogeneous nature of present catalytic system.

α-Keto Acids as Triggers and Partners for the Synthesis of Quinazolinones, Quinoxalinones, Benzooxazinones, and Benzothiazoles in Water

A general and efficient method for the synthesis of quinazolinones, quinoxalinones, benzooxazinones, and benzothiazoles from the reactions of α-keto acids with 2-aminobenzamides, benzene-1,2-diamines, 2-aminophenols, and 2-aminobenzenethiols, respectively, is described. The reactions were conducted under catalyst-free conditions, using water as the sole solvent with no additive required, and successfully applied to the synthesis of sildenafil. More importantly, these reactions can be conducted on a mass scale, and the products can be easily purified through filtration and washing with ethanol (or crystallized).

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.

Visible-Light-Induced Deaminative Alkylation/Cyclization of Alkyl Amines with N-Methacryloyl-2-phenylbenzoimidazoles in Continuous-Flow Organo-Photocatalysis

Herein, we present a metal-free visible-light-induced eosin-y-catalyzed deaminative strategy for the sequential alkylation/cyclization of N-methacryloyl-2-phenylbenzoimidazoles with alkyl amine-derived Katritzky salts, which provides an efficient avenue for the construction of various benzo[4,5]imidazo[2,1-a]isoquinolin-6(5H)-one derivatives in moderate to excellent yields under mild reaction conditions. The key enabling feature of this novel reaction includes utilization of redox-active pyridinium salts from abundant and inexpensive primary amine feedstocks that were converted into alkyl radicals via C-N bond scission and subsequent alkylation/cyclization with N-methacryloyl-2-phenylbenzoimidazoles by the formation of two new C-C bonds. In addition, we implemented this protocol for a variety of amino acids, affording the products in moderate yields. Moreover, the novel, environmentally benign batch protocol was further carried out in a continuous-flow regime by utilizing a perfluoroalkoxy alkane tubing microreactor under optimized reaction conditions with a blue light-emitting diode light source, enabling excellent yields and a shorter reaction time (19 min) versus the long reaction time (16 h) of the batch reaction. The reaction displays excellent functional group tolerance, easy operation, scalability, mild reaction conditions, and broad synthetic utility.

Solvent-dependent metal-free chemoselective synthesis of benzimidazoles and 1,3,5-triarylbenzenes from 2-amino anilines and aryl alkyl ketones catalyzed by I2

A solvent-dependent I2-catalyzed chemoselective reaction was developed for the synthesis of benzimidazoles and 1,3,5-triarylbenzenes via the annulation of 2-amino anilines and aryl alkyl ketones or the cyclization of aryl alkyl ketones, respectively. With 1,4-dioxane as the solvent, sequential C[sbnd]N bond formation followed by C(CO)-C(CH3) bond cleavage leads to the formation of benzimidazoles in a highly selective manner while aldol-type self-condensation of aryl alkyl ketones predominates using PhNO2 or PhCl as the solvent to afford 1,3,5-triarylbenzenes.
