Abstract
The N‐substituted 1‐benzimidazolyl‐succinimides 6a–v (Scheme 1, Table 1 and 2) have been prepared by the reaction of benzimidazole and its derivatives with maleimides. Reduction of the N‐cyclohexyl and N‐cyclo‐octyl substituted 1‐benzimidazolyl‐succinimides 6i–k with lithium aluminium hydride gives the normally expected substituted (N‐alkyl‐3‐pyrrolidinyl)benzimidazoles 14i–k. However by LiAlH~4~‐reduction of the N‐phenyl substituted 1‐benzimidazolylsuccinimides 6a–h mainly the 1‐aryl‐9‐alkyl‐2, 3, 3a, 4, 9, 9a‐hexahydro‐1__H__‐pyrrolo[2, 3‐b]quinoxalines 7a–h are obtained. The mechanism of this unusual reduction has been elucidated.
