Catalyst-Controlled Chemoselective Arylation of 2-Aminobenzimidazoles

What N would you like? The chemoselective and complementary Pd- and Cu-catalyzed N-arylation of 2-aminobenzimidazoles is described. Selective N-arylation of the amino group was achieved with a Pd-catalyzed method, while selective N-arylation of azole nitrogen was achieved with a Cu-catalyzed procedu...

Description
Summary:What N would you like? The chemoselective and complementary Pd- and Cu-catalyzed N-arylation of 2-aminobenzimidazoles is described. Selective N-arylation of the amino group was achieved with a Pd-catalyzed method, while selective N-arylation of azole nitrogen was achieved with a Cu-catalyzed procedure (see scheme).
