Reaction Conditions:

with erbium(III) triflate at 80; for 0.0333333 h;Green chemistry;

Steps:

General experimental procedure for the synthesis of 1,2-disubstituted benzimidazoles.

General procedure: Phenylenediamine (0.5 mmol, 0.054 g) and Er(OTf)3(0.05 mmol, 0.031 g) were added to the aldehyde (1 mmol). Solid aldehydes were dissolved in 2 mL of ethanol. Liquid aldehydes were used without solvent. The reaction mixture was stirred at 80 °C for 2 minutes. The crude product was extracted with dichloromethane and water. The organic extract was analyzed by GC-MS, and the products were isolated by radial chromatography, eluting with hexane/ethyl acetate (70:30). Solid products were recrystallized from ethanol. The use of green solvents such as cyclopentyl methyl ether or methyl tert-butyl ether in the work-up is possible, but slightly decreased the product yields from 91% to 88 and 85%, respectively.
