Metal-organic hybrid complexes often exhibit large surface area, pore volume, fascinating structures and potential applications including catalytic applications. Hence a new metal-organic hybrid complex [Diaquo{bis(p-hydroxybenzoato-κ1O1)}(1-methylimidazole- κ1N1)}copper(II)] was synthesized using conventional method. Physico-chemical characterization of the complex was performed with FTIR spectroscopy, single crystal X-ray diffraction, TGA, EPR and FESEM. Single crystal X-ray diffraction study suggests it to be three dimensional with space group P212121 (orthorhombic). The crystal achieves its three-dimensional structure and stability through extensive intermolecular hydrogen bonding. Hirshfeld surface analysis, catalytic activity and DFT study of the complex was also performed. The synthesized complex acts as good catalyst in benzimidazole synthesis with good recyclability as catalyst up to 5th run.

In the present study, 1-methyl-3-(3-trimethoxysilylpropyl)-1H-imidazol-3-ium chloride-supported Ni@zeolite-Y-based nanoporous materials (Ni@zeolite-Im-IL) were synthesized and their structures were confirmed using different characterization techniques such as FT-IR, FE-SEM, EDX, XRD, BET and TGA-DTG analyses. In order to synthesize this multi-functional nano-system, zeolite-NaY was modified first, with exchanged Ni2+ ions and 3-chloropropyltriethoxysilane (CPTES) as a coupling reagent and then functionalized to imidazolium chloride ionic liquid by N-methylimidazole. New multi-functional nano-material of Ni@zeolite-Im-IL demonstrated high activity in the catalytic synthesis of 2-aminothiazoles 3a–l by one-pot reaction of methylcarbonyls, thiourea and iodine at 80?°C in DMSO with good to excellent yields (85–98%). Also, the catalytic synthesis of 2-aryl benzimidazoles, 6a–m was performed by the condensational reaction of o-arylendiamine and aromatic aldehydes in EtOH at room temperature with excellent yields (90–98%). Advantages of this efficient synthetic strategy include higher purity and shorter reaction time, excellent yield, easy isolation of products, the good stability, activity and feasible reusability of the metallic ionic liquid nanocatalyst. These benefits have made this method more compatible with the principles of green chemistry. Graphical abstract: [Figure not available: see fulltext.]

Heterogeneous photocatalysts proffer a promising method to actualize eco-friendly and green organic transformations. Herein, a new photochemical-based methodology is disclosed in the preparation of a wide range of benzimidazoles through condensation of o-phenylenediamine with benzyl alcohols in the air under the illumination of an HP mercury lamp in the absence of any oxidizing species catalyzed by a new photocatalyst W-ZnO@NH2-CBB. In this photocatalyst, coomassie brilliant blue (CBB) is heterogenized onto W-ZnO@NH2 to improve the surface characteristics at the molecular level and enhance the photocatalytic activity of both W-ZnO@NH2 and CBB fragments. This unprecedented heterogeneous nanocatalyst is also identified by means of XRD, FT-IR, EDS, TGA-DTG, and SEM. The impact of some influencing parameters on the synthesis route and effects on the catalytic efficacy of W-ZnO@NH2-CBB are also assessed. The appropriate products are attained for both the electron-withdrawing and electron-donating substituents in the utilized aromatic alcohols. Furthermore, preparation of benzimidazoles is demonstrated to occur mainly via a radical mechanism, which shows that reactive species such as ·O2-, OH and h+ would be involved in the photocatalytic process. Stability and reusability studies also warrant good reproducibility of the nanophotocatalyst for at least five runs. Eventually, a hot filtration test proved that the nanohybrid photocatalyst is stable in the reaction medium. Using an inexpensive catalyst, UV-vis light energy and air, as a low cost and plentiful oxidant, puts this methodology in the green chemistry domain and energy-saving organic synthesis strategies. Finally, the anticancer activity of W-ZnO nanoparticles is investigated on MCF7 breast cancer cells by MTT assay. This experiment reveals that the mentioned nanoparticles have significant cytotoxicity towards the selected cell line.

An efficient magnetically recyclable bimetallic catalyst by anchoring copper and manganese complexes on the Fe3O4 NPs was prepared and named as Fe3O4@Cu-Mn. It was founded as a powerful catalyst for the domino one-pot oxidative benzimidazole and Biginelli reactions from benzyl alcohols as a green protocol in the presence of air, under solvent-free and mild conditions. Fe3O4@Cu-Mn NPs were well characterized by FT-IR, XRD, FE-SEM, TEM, VSM, TGA, EDX, DLS, and ICP analyses. The optimum range of parameters such as time, temperature, amount of catalyst, and solvent were investigated for the domino one-pot benzimidazole and Biginelli reactions to find the optimum reaction conditions. The catalyst was compatible with a variety of benzyl alcohols, which provides favorable products with good to high yields for all of derivatives. Hot filtration and Hg poisoning tests from the nanocatalyst revealed the stability, low metal leaching and heterogeneous nature of the catalyst. To prove the synergistic and cooperative effect of the catalytic system, the various homologues of the catalyst were prepared and then applied to a model reaction separately. Finally, the catalyst could be filtered from the reaction mixture simply, and reused for five consecutive cycles with a minimum loss in catalytic activity and performance. Graphic Abstract: A new magnetically recyclable Cu/Mn bimetallic catalyst has been developed for domino one-pot oxidation-condensation of benzimidazole and Biginelli reactions from alcohols.

The use of visible light to initiate one-pot synergistic/cascade reactions is a green and energy saving strategy. In this manuscript, we report that MIL-101(Fe) can act as a multifunctional catalyst to realize the oxidative condensation betweeno-phenylenediamines and alcohols to synthesize benzimidazoles under visible light. The deposition of plasmonic Au nanoparticles (Au NPs) on MIL-101(Fe) led to significantly improved activity. Both controlled experiments and electron spin resonance (ESR) results revealed that the production of benzimidazoles fromo-phenylenediamines and alcohols involves three sequential steps,i.e., the oxidative dehydrogenation of alcohols to produce aldehydes, the condensation betweeno-phenylenediamines and the aldehydes to produce Schiff bases and their oxidation to form benzimidazoles,viaa superoxide radical (O2˙?)-mediated pathway. The promoting effect of plasmonic Au NPs in this reaction can be ascribed to the effective transfer of the surface plasmon resonance (SPR)-excited hot electrons to the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) of MIL-101(Fe), which led to the generation of more active O2˙?radicals. This study not only provides a green and sustainable way for the synthesis of benzimidazoles, but also highlights the great potential of using rationally designed plasmonic metal NP/MOF nanocomposites as multifunctional catalysts for light initiated one-pot tandem/cascade reactions.

Porous borocarbonitride (P-BCN), with the characteristics of enhanced crystallinity and improved N-B pair exposure, was prepared with a simple KCl-assisted molten salt strategy. Efficient heterogeneous photocatalytic tandem synthesis of benzazoles from alcohol oxidation/toluene sp3C-H activation was achieved firstly over the metal-free P-BCN using visible light and the green oxidant O2, with only water as a by-product. Variouso-thio/hydroxy/aminoanilines and alcohols or toluenes could be converted to the corresponding 2-substituted benzothiazoles, benzoxazoles and benzimidazoles with good to excellent photocatalytic performance. The improved photocatalytic performance in comparison to bulk BCN should be due to the crystallinity-enhancement-induced improvement in charge separation and transmission. The increased N-B pair exposure promoted superoxide radical generation due to the electron-enriched N atoms, as well as improved oxidation ability due to the valence band constructed by the B 2p orbital. This work presents a green and efficient synthetic strategy towards benzazoles and other fine chemicalsviametal-free heterogeneous photocatalysis.

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.

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.

Abstract: In this study, a novel ionic liquid immobilized on silica-coated cobalt-ferrite magnetic nanoparticles. This novel hybrid nanostructure (CoFe2O4@SiO2@PAF-IL) was characterized by various microscopic and spectroscopic techniques including Fourier transformation infrared spectroscopy (FT–IR), X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), field emission scanning electron microscopy (SEM), the electron-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS), vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM), and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA/DTG). The catalytic activity of prepared nanomaterial was considered in the synthesis of the benzothiazole and benzimidazole derivatives. This method has several advantages such as good to excellent yields, short reaction times, solvent-free and environmentally-benign conditions, and simple work-up. Besides, nanocatalyst can be easily separated from the reaction mixture with the external magnetic field and reused several times without any loss of its catalytic activity.
