Abstract
Abstract l -Proline (10 mol %) was found to be a versatile organocatalyst for the selective synthesis of 2-aryl-1-arylmethyl-1 H -benzimidazoles from a wide range of substituted o -phenylenediamines and aldehydes in moderate to excellent isolated yields (32–95%) under mild conditions using chloroform as a solvent at ambient temperature.
