Abstract

An easy and efficient “one-pot” synthetic method facilitated by Fe to synthesize substituted 1-phenyl-1H-benzimi- dazole has been developed successfully. By using liquid organic acid as solvent, 2-nitro-N-phenylaniline is converted to substituted 1-phenyl-1H-benzimidazole directly after reduction and cyclization catalyzed by Fe, with the yield of 80%~92%. Through the application of high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) detection, the effects of the amount of solvent, the type of liquid organic acid, temperature and reaction time on the “one-pot” reaction have been fully investigated, as well as the reaction mechanism. The “one-pot” method proposed here has multiple advantages, such as mild condition, easy procedure, cheap ingredients and high yield, which provide a newly convenient synthetic route.
