A mild and scalable one-pot synthesis of N-substituted 2-aminobenzimidazoles via visible light mediated cyclodesulfurization

Abstract A visible light mediated photocatalyst-free synthesis of N-substituted 2-aminobenzimidazoles directly from o-phenylenediamines and isothiocyanates is developed in a one-pot fashion. This one-pot reaction proceeds through three steps: N-substitution of o-phenylenediamines, thiourea formation...
