Simple and green synthesis of benzimidazoles and pyrrolo[1,2-a]quinoxalines via Mamedov heterocycle rearrangement

Abstract

A method for the synthesis of coupling compounds of benzimidazoles and pyrrolo[1,2-a]quinoxalines via Mamedov Heterocycle Rearrangement is reported here. This method was conducted at room temperature and only solvent (HOAc) was required. A series of 4-(1H-benzo[d]imidazol-2-yl)pyrrolo[1,2-a]quinoxaline derivatives were obtained in moderate to good yields.
