One-Pot Synthesis of Functionalized Benzimidazoles and 1H-Pyrimidines via Cascade Reactions of o-Aminoanilines or Naphthalene-1,8-diamine with Alkynes and p-Tolylsulfonyl Azide

A one-pot synthesis of functionalized benzimidazoles and 1H-pyrimidines via the cascade reactions of o-aminoanilines or naphthalene-1,8-diamine with terminal alkynes and p-tolylsulfonyl azide is reported. The protocol is efficient and general.
