Metal-free catalyzed intermolecular tandem Michael addition/cyclization has been developed for the synthesis of benzo[4,5]imidazo[1,2-a]pyridines from α-bromocinnamaldehyde and 2-substituted benzimidazoles. The reaction promoted by a simple inorganic base displays moderate to good yields and good functional group tolerance. The optical properties of some typical products have been investigated. We found that, due to the presence of the benzene ring at the C1-position of benzo[4,5]imidazo[1,2-a]pyridines which restricts intramolecular motion, as a new type of aggregation-induced emission (AIE) luminogen (AIEgen), they show very good solid-state fluorescence with quantum yields up to 88.80%. Importantly, the AIE performance of compound3bcan be useful to detect the nitroaromatic explosive picric acid (PA) with a detection limit and quenching constant of 42.5 nM and 7.27 × 104M?M, respectively.

Solid supported iridium catalysts, which show excellent activity for the dehydrogenative synthesis of benzimidazoles from primary alcohols and phenylenediamine derivatives under mild reaction conditions, were developed. Among the catalysts examined, the titania-supported iridium catalyst showed the highest activity, and benzimidazole derivatives were selectively produced at temperatures of 80°C or higher. For example, the reaction of phenylenediamine (1a) with benzyl alcohol (2a) in the presence of Ir(1.0 wt%)/TiO2 (1.0 mol%, towards 1a) at 120°C selectively gave 2-phenylbenzimidazole (3aa) in 80% yield after 6 h and over 90% yield after 18 h. A high turnover number (TON) of more than 800 was achieved in the reaction at a higher substrate-to-catalyst ratio. Reduction of the catalysts under a hydrogen atmosphere at around 500 to 600°C is essential for their significant activity. Characterization of the catalysts by gas adsorption, XRD, XPS, H2-TPR, TEM, and XAFS techniques revealed that highly-dispersed nanoparticles of the iridium(0) species (ca. 1 to 2 nm in diameter) formed on TiO2 are responsible for the catalysis. The catalysts could be recycled without a significant loss of activity, and the leaching of the iridium species into the solution during the catalytic runs was negligible, which suggests that the present catalysts would be excellent from both environmental and practical perspectives.

For finding the novel inhibitor of nuclear factor κB activity, a series of benzimidazole derivatives were rationally designed, synthesized and systematically studied for their in vitro activities against LPS induced NF-κB inhibition in RAW 264.7 cells using the SEAP assay based on the flexible chalcone JSH ((E)-1-(2-hydroxy-6-(isopentyloxy)phenyl)-3-(4-hydroxy phenyl)prop-2-en-1-one) which was previously reported. Although most of the benzimidazole derivatives showed strong inhibitory activity in low micromolar potency, 2-(4-methoxybenzyl)-1H-benzo[d]imidazole (3m; IC50 = 1.7 μM) and 2-(2-methoxybenzyl)-1H-benzo[d]imidazole (3n; IC50 = 2.4 μM) showed the best inhibition. The structure activity relationship revealed that 2-benzylbenzimidazole scaffold with hydrogen bonding acceptor on phenyl ring appears as a pharmacophore.
