“…It is known that homonuclear pyrimidine-and benzimidazolequinone (1H-benzo [d]imidazole-4,7-dione)containing compounds show diverse biological activities, such as anticancer, antimalarial, antitumor, antiproliferative, and cytotoxic properties. 1,2 There are two N-fused modes of such homonuclear N-heterocycles, benzo [4,5]imidazo [1,2a]pyrimidine-6,9-diones (Scheme 1, A) and benzo [4,5]imidazo [1,2-c]pyrimidine-6,9-diones (Scheme 1, B). In contrast to many synthetic methods for other N-fused hybrid scaffolds, limited examples for the synthesis of such N-fused hybrid scaffolds A and B are known.…”
