β¦ Synopsis
N-Alkoxy-, N-aryloxy-and N-allyloxybenzimidazoles (prepared using tandem N-alkylation, heterocyclisation and O-alkylation with in situ alkylating agent) can be selectively O-deprotected and then independently realkylated to provide a protocol for diversification with differentiated substituents at C2 and on oxygen. In addition, carboxamide functionalised derivatives 8 are amenable to staged interruption of the tandem reaction, allowing sequential additions of two different bases and alkylating agents directly affording 9. This 'start-stop-start' tandem process also facilitates diversification to analogues bearing different C2 and N-alkoxy substituents.

Synthesis of two new types of 'head-to-head' N,N-alkoxy bisbenzimidazoles is described. The proposed intermediate N-oxy benzimidazole from base-induced heterocyclization of N-alkylnitroanilines can be trapped with a biselectrophile (to give an N,N-linked dimer), or double heterocyclization of dimeri
