Copper-catalyzed synthesis of polysubstituted benzimidazoles: an efficient one-pot synthetic approach to N-enylated benzimidazoles

Abstract

We report the simple synthesis of 1,2-disubstituted benzimidazoles using three versatile building blocks: benzaldehydes, o-phenylenediamines, and phenylpropiolic acid. The protocol facilitates the formation of three C–N bonds and one Csp–Csp bond in a one-pot reaction and yields novel products that have not been previously synthesized.
