Abstract

An efficient copper-catalyzed intramolecular arylation of formamidines forming 2- unsubstituted benzimidazoles in excellent yields is reported. Sixteen examples bearing sterically demanding substituents on nitrogen like Mes, 2, 6-diisopropylphenyl, or 2-tert- butylphenyl and tolerating various functional groups demonstrate the utility of this method.
