Water-Mediated Synthesis of 2-Substituted Benzimidazoles by Boric Acid and Glycerol

A very simple, mild, and highly efficient green catalyst has been developed for the synthesis of 2-substituted benzimidazoles by treatment of substituted ortho-phenylenediamines and aldehydes in water at 80°C in the presence of boric acid (5 mol-%) and glycerol (0.05 mL). This methodology has been standardized on 55 substrates, and nine new compounds have been synthesized.
