Abstract: This work reports a green and sustainable route for the synthesis of benzimidazoles via C–N bond formation using carbon dioxide (CO2) as a C1 carbon source. In this work, Cu@U-g-C3N4 catalyst was prepared from urea derived porous graphitic carbon?nitride (U-g-C3N4) and CuCl2 and characterized by FT-IR, XRD, XPS, SEM, TPD etc. The Cu@U-g-C3N4 as a heterogeneous recyclable catalyst has been employed first time for the cyclization of o-phenylenediamines (OPD) with CO2 to benzimidazoles using dimethylamine borane (DMAB). The proposed protocol becomes sustainable and efficient due to the use of propylene carbonate/water as a suitable biodegradable, economical and environmentally benign solvent system. The proposed catalytic system showed a wide range of substrate scope for the synthesis of benzimidazoles in good to excellent yields. Graphical Abstract: [Figure not available: see fulltext.]

We describe herein the first C-2 direct alkenylation of the valuable 3H-imidazo[4,5-b]pyridine promoted by microwave-assisted Pd/Cu co-catalysis. The reaction is rapid and compatible with a wide range of functional groups either on the imidazo[4,5-b]pyridine ring or on the styryl bromides thereby leading to the isolation of 23 compounds with moderate to good yields. The relevance of this method is demonstrated by its application to the synthesis of new cross-conjuguated push-pull 2-vinyl- and 2-alkynylimidazo[4,5-b]pyridines characterized by satisfactory fluorescence quantum yields and remarkable solvatofluorochromic properties.
