New synthesis method of thiabendazole

The invention relates to a new synthetic route of a drug commonly named as thiabendazole. Thiazole-4-formaldehyde is used as a raw material, and is condensed with hydroxylamine hydrochloride to obtainthiazole-4-formaldoxime, thiazole-4-formaldoxime is subjected to chlorination by using NCS, and then reacts with aniline to obtain N-phenylthiazole-4-methylamine oxime, then N-phenylthiazole-4-methylamine oxime reacts with p-trifluoromethyl benzoyl chloride to obtain an amidoxime ester, and finally a visible-light-catalyzed free radical reaction is adopted for cyclization to obtain thiazole. According to the method, the visible-light-catalyzed free radical reaction is used to the synthesis of thiabendazole for the first time, the reaction conditions of a high temperature and a strong acid inthe traditional synthesis method are avoided, and thereby the reaction is greener and milder. The method has a broad spectrum, and can also be used for synthesis of imidazole compounds Ia-Ial.

Formation of Amidinyl Radicals via Visible-Light-Promoted Reduction of N-Phenyl Amidoxime Esters and Application to the Synthesis of 2-Substituted Benzimidazoles

We have developed a new method for the synthesis of 2-substituted benzimidazoles via amidinyl radicals generated by visible-light-promoted reduction of N-phenyl amidoxime esters in the presence of an iridium photocatalyst. This is the first report of the use of N-phenyl amidoxime esters as amidinyl radical precursors, and the first use of substituted benzene rings as amidinyl radical acceptors. This method widens the application range of substrates and overcomes the shortcomings of the traditional methods for the synthesis of 2-substituted benzimidazoles, which requires harsh reaction conditions, involves difficult-to-prepare substituted o-phenylenediamine substrates, and produces acidic waste.
