Abstract

An efficient and simple approach for the synthesis of 2-substituted benzimidazoles and benzothiazoles through a coupling of 1,2-phenylenediamines and 2-aminothiophenols with variety of aryl aldehydes in ethanol at 70 °C using Ag2CO3/Celite as solid catalyst is described. The procedure features short reaction time, excellent yields and simple workup.
