One-pot reduction-triggered heterocyclizations from 2-nitroanilines or 1,2-dinitroarenes to benzimidazoles were investigated in this study. In the presence of indium/AcOH in ethyl acetate at reflux, reaction of 2-nitroanilines or 1,2-dinitroarenes with R-C(OMe)3 (R=Me, Ph) produced excellent yields of the corresponding benzimidazoles within 30 min to 6 h depending on the substituents of the starting materials. Indium-mediated heterocyclization of 2-nitroanilines to benzimidazole was faster and had better yields than 1,2-dinitroarenes to benzimidazole under similar reaction conditions.

The protocol presented here is a new strategy for visible light induced C-H trifluoromethylation at C4 of benzimidazoles using Togni's reagent in the presence of fac-Ir(ppy)3. Its advantages are its operational simplicity, mild reaction conditions, low catalyst loading and wide substrate scope in which electron-withdrawing, electron-donating groups and different protecting groups are tolerated.
