Abstract
A TEMPO/HI-enabled oxidative vinylation annulation of ethyl tertiary amines with 2-aminobenzimidazoles and aromatic aldehydes has been developed for the synthesis of 4-arylpyrimido[1,2-a]benzimidazoles. This hydride transfer strategy features broad substrate scope, excellent functional group tolerance, and utilizes readily available ethyl tertiary amines as vinyl synthons to provide diverse fused pyrimidine scaffolds. The protocol further facilitates the late-stage functionalization of complex bioactive molecules and provides a concise one-step synthesis of a reported USP5 inhibitor.
