Unbalanced redox condensation reaction between o-nitroanilines and alcohols, leading to benzimidazole and quinoxaline heterocycles can be efficiently promoted and catalyzed by sodium sulfide (40 mol%) in combination with iron(III) chloride hexahydrate (1 mol%). Beside the role as a precursor for the iron-sulfur (Fe/S) catalyst formation, hydrated sodium sulfide was shown to be an excellent noncompetitive, multi-electron reducing agent.
