Abstract
Potassium periodate (KIO4) catalyzed novel, efficient and highly regioselective one-pot synthesis of substituted benzimidazoles has been carried out in good to excellent yields via condensation–cyclisation reactions involving a variety of aldehydes and o-phenylenediamines. As a catalyst, KIO4 shows good compatibility with various substrates, easy removal, easy handling, operational simplicity, and work in mild reaction conditions. A comparative study, microwave (MW) versus conventional method, for synthesizing 2-substituted benzimidazoles via KIO4 catalysis is also described. It was observed that the microwave irradiation approach improves the yield and minimizes time (from hour to min), and represents more advantageous eco-friendly quicker chemistry.
