Abstract
Ethyl 2-formyl-9-methyl-9H-imidazo[1,2-a]benzimidazole-3-carboxylate was synthesized for the first time in a high yield by heating a solution of ethyl 2-(dibromomethyl)-9-methyl-9H-imidazo[1,2-a]benzimidazole-3-carboxylate in ethanol. Acid hydrolysis of the product gave less accessible 9-methylimidazobenzimidazole-2-carbaldehyde. Ethyl 2-formyl-9-methyl-9H-imidazo[1,2-a]benzimidazole-3-carboxylate underwent cyclization to fused oxopyridazine derivative by treatment with hydrazine hydrate, it reacted as a typical aldehyde with acetophenones, hydroxylamine hydrochloride, and malononitrile, and its reaction with acetylacetone and thiourea (Biginelli reaction) afforded the corresponding pyrimidine derivative.
This study successfully synthesized and transformed ethyl 2-formyl-9-methyl-9H-imidazo[1,2-a]benzimidazole-3-carboxylate, a key intermediate in the Biginelli reaction, in a high yield.
