1,2-Substituted benzimidazoles were prepared by simply stirring a mixture of copper catalysts, <i>N</i>-substituted <i>o</i>-phenylenediamines, sulfonyl azides and terminal alkynes. Particularly, the intermediate <i>N</i>-sulfonylketenimine occurred with two nucleophilic addition and the sulfonyl group was eliminated <i>via</i> cyclization. In a way, sulfonyl azides and copper catalysts activated the terminal alkynes to synthesize benzimidazoles. ...[more]
