Copper-Promoted One-Pot Approach: Synthesis of Benzimidazoles

A facile, one-pot, and proficient method was developed for the production of various 2-arylaminobenzimidazoles. This methodology is based for the first time on a copper catalyst promoted domino C–N cross-coupling reaction for the generation of 2-arylaminobenzimidazoles. Mechanistic investigations re...
