Lithium Hexamethyldisilazane Transformation of Transiently Protected 4-Aza/Benzimidazole Nitriles to Amidines and their Dimethyl Sulfoxide Mediated Imidazole Ring Formation.


ABSTRACT: Trimethylsilyl-transient protection successfully allowed the use of lithium hexamethyldisilazane to prepare benzimidazole (BI) and 4-azabenzimidazole (azaBI) amidines from nitriles in 58-88% yields. This strategy offers a much better choice to prepare BI/azaBI amidines than the lengthy, low-yielding Pinner reaction. Synthesis of aza/benzimidazole rings from aromatic diamines and aldehydes was affected in dimethyl sulfoxide in 10-15 min, while known procedures require long time and purification. These methods are important for the BI/azaBI-based drug industry and for developing specific DNA binders for expanded therapeutic applications.
