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.

Visible-Light Photoredox Catalyzed Double C-H Functionalization: Radical Cascade Cyclization of Ethers with Benzimidazole-Based Cyanamides

A visible-light photoredox catalyzed radical cascade cyclization of simple ethers with cyanamides is developed at room temperature. This strategy involves sequential inert Csp3-H/Csp2-H functionalizations through intermolecular addition reaction of oxyalkyl radicals to N-cyano groups followed by radical cyclization of iminyl radicals in situ generated with C-2 aryl rings. This method allows for efficient synthesis of tetracyclic benzo[4,5]imidazo[1,2-c]quinazolines. Importantly, this is the first example of an intermolecular-intramolecular radical cascade cyclization reaction of cyanamides.

s-Tetrazine-functionalized hyper-crosslinked polymers for efficient photocatalytic synthesis of benzimidazoles

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.

Visible-Light-Driven Sulfonylation/Cyclization to Access Sulfonylated Benzo[4,5]imidazo[2,1-a]isoquinolin-6(5H)-ones

Visible-light-driven sulfonylation/cyclization of N-methacryloyl-2-phenylbenzoimidazoles has been successfully developed. Using commercially available sulfonyl chloride as sulfonylation reagent, a wide range of sulfonylated benzo[4,5]imidazo[2,1-a]isoquinolin-6(5H)-ones with potential antitumor activity were provided in acceptable to excellent yields. This method has the advantages of mild reaction conditions and outstanding functional group tolerance, and provides a new strategy for the development of potential antitumor lead compounds.

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.

A heterogeneous catalytic strategy for facile production of benzimidazoles and quinoxalines from primary amines using the Al-MCM-41 catalyst

This study reports a straightforward heterogeneous catalytic (Al-MCM-41) approach to synthesize nitrogen heterocycle moieties from primary amines under solvent-free conditions. The Al-MCM-41 catalyst was prepared using a hydrothermal method and characterized by various analytical techniques. The probability and limitations of the catalytic methodology were presented with various substrates. The catalytic method grants an attractive route to a wide variety of benzimidazole and quinoxaline moieties with good to excellent yields. The gram scale reaction and reusability (up to five cycles) of the Al-MCM-41 catalyst would greatly benefit industrial applications. This journal is

Visible light promoted tandem dehydrogenation-deaminative cyclocondensation under aerobic conditions for the synthesis of 2-aryl benzimidazoles/quinoxalines fromortho-phenylenediamines and arylmethyl/ethyl amines

Visible light promoted domino synthesis of 2-aryl benzimidazoles is reported through the reaction ofortho-phenylenediamines and arylmethyl amines under aerobic conditions. The methodology has wide substrate scope and tolerates a wide range of functional groups affording the products in high yields. The use of arylethyl amines instead of arylmethyl amines gives 2-aryl quinoxalines.

Thiophene-embedded conjugated microporous polymers for photocatalysis

Various photoactive building blocks can be incorporated into porous organic polymers (POPs). The intrinsic properties, such as various synthetic methods, outstanding inherent porosity, easy tunability, rigid conjugated skeletons and high stability, endow the polymeric organic networks with wonderful potential to act as heterogeneous photocatalytic platforms. However, exploitation of efficient synthetic strategies for metal-free and nontoxic heterogenous photocatalysts, and further insights into the photocatalytic process in organic transformations are still necessary. In this context, we report the concise synthesis of two polymeric frameworks (BTP-CMP and TBTP-CMP) incorporated into bithiophene and thiophthene units via a "bottom-up"strategy. BTP-CMP and TBTP-CMP were employed as heterogeneous photocatalysts in the synthesis of benzimidazoles, and exhibited excellent catalytic activity (up to 98% yield, at least 15 iterative runs). Therefore, the thiophene-embedded networks can serve as stable efficient and recyclable heterogeneous photocatalysts. Additionally, based on the catalytic results of control experiments and the energy band structures of the materials and intermediates, a possible photocatalytic reaction mechanism has been proposed.

Various benzimidazoles are obtained in good to excellent yields by this strategy.
