Mild and Highly Efficient Method for the Synthesis of 2-Arylbenzimidazoles and 2-Arylbenzothiazoles

Abstract

A new, convenient method for the syntheses of 2-substituted benzimidazole and benzothizole is described. Short reaction times, large-scale synthesis, easy and quick isolation of the products, excellent chemoselectivity, and excellent yields are the main advantages of this procedure.
