Metal-free catalyzed intermolecular tandem Michael addition/cyclization has been developed for the synthesis of benzo[4,5]imidazo[1,2-a]pyridines from α-bromocinnamaldehyde and 2-substituted benzimidazoles. The reaction promoted by a simple inorganic base displays moderate to good yields and good functional group tolerance. The optical properties of some typical products have been investigated. We found that, due to the presence of the benzene ring at the C1-position of benzo[4,5]imidazo[1,2-a]pyridines which restricts intramolecular motion, as a new type of aggregation-induced emission (AIE) luminogen (AIEgen), they show very good solid-state fluorescence with quantum yields up to 88.80%. Importantly, the AIE performance of compound3bcan be useful to detect the nitroaromatic explosive picric acid (PA) with a detection limit and quenching constant of 42.5 nM and 7.27 × 104M?M, respectively.

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 effective and stable polystyrene supported rhodium (Rh@PS) nano-catalyst has been synthesized by following reduction-deposition approach and applied for the selective benzimidazoles synthesis from 1,2-phenylenediamines and ethanol/methanol as C2H3/CH source. The ethanol/methanol in the presence of trace amounts of aerobic oxygen under Rh@PS catalysed condition, first participated in oxidation of alcohol followed by consecutive condensation, cyclization and hydrogen elimination reactions with 1,2-phenylenediamine gave the desired products in good yields. The Rh@PS catalyst in a single system performed both oxidation and reduction reactions in a selective/specific manner and applied for large substrate scope. Easy recovery, handling, stability, recyclability of the catalyst and less chance of metal contamination with the products are the added advantages of the process. (Figure presented.).
