Nucleophilic addition of benzimidazoles to alkynyl bromides/palladium-catalyzed intramolecular C-H vinylation: synthesis of benzo[4,5]imidazo[2,1-a]isoquinolines.

An efficient "one-pot" route for the synthesis of benzo[4,5]imidazo[2,1-a] isoquinolines has been developed via nucleophilic addition of 2-aryl benzimidazoles to alkynyl bromides and subsequent palladium-catalyzed intramolecular C-H vinylation.
