A novel efficient method for the selective synthesis of 2-substituted benzimidazoles is described through condensation reaction of o-phenylenediamines with a wide rang of aliphatic, aromatic and heteroaromatic aldehyde substrates using Br?nsted acidic ionic liquid as a reusable catalyst under metal-free conditions at ambient temperature. Notably, Dodecylimidazolium hydrogen sulfate ([DodecIm][HSO4]) is the most efficient catalyst for good to excellent yields of the corresponding products (up to 98%). Subsequently, this protocol was successfully applied for the preparation of N-alkylated 1,2-disubstituted benzimidazoles in high to excellent yields via sequential one-pot reaction. In addition, catalysts are recycled at least four times without significant loss in activity.

An efficient protocol for chemoselective synthesis of 2-substituted benzimidazoles from a variety of aliphatic/aromatic/ heteroaryl aldehydes and o-phenylenediamine derivatives promoted by NaHSO3 in water had been developed. The amount of NaHSO3 had a great effect on the reaction selectivity of 2-substituted benzimidazole and 1,2-disubstituted benzimidazole when the reaction was carried out in water. When the amount of the NaHSO3 was more than 11 equivalents, the 2-substituted benzimidazole could be highly selectively formed as the sole product. NaHSO3 was firstly reacted with aldehyde to form the aldehyde sodium bisulfite, which reacted with o-phenylenediamine to form the 2-substituted benzimidazole and inhibited the formation of 1,2-disubstituted benzimidazole. This protocol solved the poor selectivity problem appearing in traditional method when cyclocondensation between o-phenylenediamine and aldehydes. The method also had advantage of simple work up by filtrating the single 2-substituted benzimidazole precipitates from reaction mixture at the end of the reaction without further purification. In addition, the method was applicable to both electron-rich and electron-poor starting materials, which was successfully used for synthesizing nine novel 2-substituted benzimidazole derivatives containing a 1,2,3-triazole moiety. They were characterized by NMR, IR and HRMS spectrum. Moreover, this method had been applied to a large scale synthesis of 2-substituted benzimidazole derivatives.

An electrochemical method for the decarboxylative coupling of α-keto acids with ortho-phenylenediamines was developed. The reaction proceeded smoothly in aqueous solution under air and metal catalyst-free conditions to afford 2-substituted benzimidazoles in good yields. Benzothiazoles could also be synthesized by this protocol. (Figure presented.) .
