Abstract

The present work describes synthesis of a series of benzimidazoles, benzoxazoles and benzothiazoles through the cyclization of 1, 2-phenylenediamine, 2-aminothiophenol, or 2-aminophenol with aryl, aliphatic and heteroaryl aldehydes. The present synthetic protocol is very much efficient in presence of 5 mol % fluorophosphoric acid as a catalyst in ethanol solvent at room temperature. Shorter reaction time, simple work-up technique, high yields and easy availability are specific compensations of the present synthetic approach.
