Synthesis of 2-alkyl-substituted benzimidazoles by thermal decomposition of 2-azidobenzenamines in the presence of an aldehyde

2-Substituted benzimidazoles were prepared by reaction of 2-azidoaminobenzenes with aldehydes under thermal conditions. The reaction probably proceeds via a sequential imine formation, azide decomposition forming a nitrene, and electrocyclization. Copyright Taylor & Francis Group, LLC.
