Abstract
Herein, we present the base-metal-catalyzed dehydrogenative coupling of primary alcohols and aromatic diamines to selectively form functionalized 2-substituted benzimidazoles, liberating water and hydrogen gas as the sole byproducts. The reaction is catalyzed by pincer complexes of Earth-abundant cobalt under base-free conditions.
