Abstract
Abstract A simple and efficient synthesis of novel 3-(benzimidazol-2-yl)- and 3,6-di(benzimidazol-2-yl)-9-ethyl-9H-carbazoles is described. The synthetic approach for the preparation of 2-substituted benzimidazoles 4–8 and bis-benzimidazoles 9–12 was achieved by the condensation of carbazole-3-carbaldehyde 2 and carbazole-3,6-dicarbaldehyde 3 with o-phenyldiamines in dimethylformamide or dimethylsulfoxide in moderate to excellent yield. The identities of synthesized compounds were confirmed using 1H NMR, 13C NMR, infrared (IR), and high-resolution mass spectrometry (HRMS). GRAPHICAL ABSTRACT
