An efficient method has been developed for the catalysis of condensation of 1,2-phenylenediamines and 2-aminothiophenoles with different aldehydes into their corresponding 2-aryl-1H-benzimidazoles and 2-aryl-1H-benzothiazoles under mild condition. In this method, trans-3,5-dihydroperoxy-3,5-dimethyl-1,2-dioxolane (DHPDMDO)/HOAc/KI system was used as a novel and effective oxidant in water at room temperature with excellent results.
A simple and mild procedure for the conversion of anilines into aryl isocyanates is described using the 3-hydroxypropylammonium acetate (HPAA) ionic liquid as a novel and efficient media has been explored in the synthesis of aryl isocyanates from the reaction of substituted urea with sodium nitrite in a water immiscible solvent. This ionic liquid can […]
