Abstract

Five novel 1-hydroxyethyl-2-substituted phenoxymethyl benzimidazoles c1-c5 were successfully synthesized by a three-step route. Firstly, five substituted phenoxymethyl acids a1-a5 were prepared by the O-carboxymethylation reaction of the starting substituted phenols under microwave irradiation. Then, these compounds reacted with o-phenylendiamine to get the key intermediates 2-substituted phenoxymethyl benzimidazoles b1-b5. At last, the target compounds were synthesized by the N-hydroxyethylation reaction of b1-b5 with 2-chloroethyl alcohol through the solid-liquid phase transfer catalysis method, where tetrabutyl ammonium bromide (TBAB) was used as the catalyst. The structures of the target compounds were well characterized and verified by elemental analysis, MS, IR, 1H NMR, 13C NMR and single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis.
