Abstract

Hydrogen-bond-driven electrophilic activation for selectivity control during competitive formation of 1, 2-disubstituted and 2-substituted benzimidazoles from o-phenylenediamine and aldehydes is reported. The fluorous alcohols trifluoroethanol and hexafluoro-2-propanol efficiently promote the cyclocondensation of o-phenylenediamine with aldehydes to afford selectively the 1, 2-disubstituted benzimidazoles at rt in short times. A mechanistic insight ...
