Abstract
The iodine(III) compound promoted C-H amination and tandem C-H amination/acetoxylation of guanidines are achieved for the first time to provide efficiently 2-aminobenzimidazoles and acetoxyl-substituted 2-aminobenzimidazoles, respectively. The amount and type of iodine(III) compounds control the selective syntheses of two types of 2-aminobenzimidazoles. This reaction shows good regioselectivity when unsymmetrical substrates are used.
