One-pot photocatalytic synthesis of 2-substituted benzimidazoles from 2-nitroanilines with different alcohols by combined redox cyclization reaction using TiO2-P25 is reported. The reaction, when performed with ethanol, gives 2-methylbenzimidazole as a single product. However, in a mixture of ethanol and water (1:1), it gives both 2-methylbenzimidazole and 1-ethyl-2-methylbenzimidazole. The products have been characterized by Fourier transorm-infrared, 1H NMR, 13CNMR, and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry analysis. TiO2-P25 behaves as a combined redox photocatalyst by reducing 2-nitroaniline and oxidizing alcohols simultaneously under ultraviolet light. Easy product isolation under mild conditions and good yield make this one-pot synthesis ecofriendly. Copyright Taylor & Francis Group, LLC.

The coupling of multi-step reactions catalyzed by a heterogeneous catalyst is an important path to accomplish some unconventional chemical transformations. Since the starting materials generated from previous steps were adsorbed on the catalyst, the activation energy of following steps was largely decreased, and thus the reaction conditions were more mild and environmental friendly. Catalyzed by a multifunctional Cu-Pd/γ-Al2O3 catalyst, the transfer hydrogenation and successive cyclization coupling reaction from o-nitroaniline and alcohol to afford benzimidazole derivatives in high yield was realized. The catalyst could be reused several times without loss of activity. The synergies of reforming hydrogenation of Cu-Pd bimetal and support acidity of γ-Al2O3 were responsible for this catalytic transformation.

Substituted 2-alkyl-benzimidazoles were synthesized from benzene-1,2-diamine and tertiary amines as alkylating agent under polystyrene supported rhodium (Rh@PS) nanoparticles (NPs) catalyzed conditions. The heterogeneous rhodium catalyst was applied first time for the synthesis of 2-alkyl-benzimidazoles. The reaction followed through oxidation of alkylamines, transamination, and oxidative cyclisation with benzene-1,2-diamines for the corresponding products synthesis with good yields. The process is applicable for vast substrate scope, several functional groups are tolerable, and the Rh@PS catalyst is recyclable up to four cycles without significant loss in catalytic activity.

An oxidant, base and metal free methodology has been developed for the synthesis of various 2-substituted and non-substituted benzazoles, quinazolines and quinazolinones using oxalic/malonic acids as an in situ carbon source. This methodology is applicable for a wide range of substituted o-phenylenediamine, o-aminothiophenol, o-aminophenol and o-aminobenzamide containing various functional groups and provides good to excellent yields of the corresponding product. Furthermore an easy workup procedure, high yield and easy isolation of products are key features of this methodology. The developed protocol is also applicable for the gram scale synthesis of benzimidazoles.
