Popis: | Interaction of 2-carbonyl and 2-hydroxy(or methoxy)alkyl benzimidazoles with arenes in the Brønsted superacid TfOH resulted in the formation of the corresponding Friedel-Crafts reaction products, 2-diarylmethyl and 2-arylmethyl substituted benzimidazoles in yields up to 90%. The reaction intermediates, N,O-diproptonated species derived from starting benzimidazoles in TfOH, were thorougly studied by means of NMR and DFT calculations. The plausible reaction mechanisms have been discussed. |
