Novel molecular iodine catalyzed cyclization reactions of 2-amino anilines with aryl alkyl ketones under oxidant and metal-free conditions are described. The reaction likely involves sequential C-N bond formation followed by C(CO)-C(alkyl) bond cleavage. Various 2-substituted benzimidazoles are obtained in moderate to good yields in a single step from readily available acetophenones, propiophenones, and phenylacetophenones.
本文描述了在无氧化剂和金属条件下，新型分子碘催化 2-氨基苯胺与芳基烷基酮的环化反应。该反应可能涉及顺序的 C-N 键形成，然后是 C(CO)-C(烷基)键的断裂。各种 2-取代的苯并咪唑可以从易得的苯乙酮、丙酰苯和苯乙酮一步以中等至良好的收率得到。
