A 2-amido benzo[ d]imidazole library has been constructed by solid-phase synthesis. The key step of this solid-phase synthesis involves the preparation of polymer-bound 2-amino benzo[ d]imidazole resin through desulfurative cyclization of thiourea resin using 2-chloro-1,3-dimethylimidazolinium chloride and N, N-diisopropylethylamine in dichloromethane (DCM), and the resin is then functionalized by acylation at the 2-amine position to afford 2-amidobenzo[ d]imidazole resin. In the case of 2-amidobenzo[ d]imidazole resin having a p-I or m-NO, the resin was further functionalized by Suzuki/Sonogashira-coupling ( p-I) and reduction to the primary amine ( m-NO) followed by acylation. Finally, the functionalized 2-amido-benzo[ d]imidazole resin was cleaved from the polymer support by treatment with a cocktail of trifluoroacetic acid and DCM. As a result, we obtained 2-amidobenzo[ d]imidazole analogues in high yield and good purities.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
