A small library of twelve, structurally diverse, fluoroaryl benzimidazoles was prepared using a simple synthetic strategy employing SNAr reactions. This allowed rapid assembly of heterocyclic structures containing linked and tethered fluoroaryl benzimidazoles. X-ray crystal structures of seven compounds were obtained including those of two macrocyclic compounds containing 21- and 24-membered rings. Three tethered fluoroaryl benzimidazole derivatives demonstrated micromolar inhibition against K-562 and MCF-7 cell lines. These compounds, in addition to 1-tetrafluoropyrid-4-yl-2-tetrafluoropyrid-4-ylsulfanyl-1H-benzimidazole, also demonstrated micromolar inhibition against G361 and HOS cell lines. Two of the compounds were found to activate caspases leading to apoptosis.
