Selective Synthesis of Benzimidazoles from <i>o</i>-Phenylenediamine and Aldehydes Promoted by Supported Gold Nanoparticles

We investigated the catalytic efficacy of supported gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) towards the selective reaction between <i>o</i>-phenylenediamine and aldehydes that yields 2-substituted benzimidazoles. Among several supported gold nanoparticle platforms, the Au/TiO<sub>2</sub>...
