Abstract

2-Substituted benzimidazoles and 3, 1, 5-benzoxadiazepines have been synthesized in excellent yields in a single pot by cyclodehydration of N-acyl-1, 2-phenylenediamines and N, N′-diacyl-1, 2-phenylenediamines prepared in situ from the corresponding 1, 2- phenylenediamines and an acid chloride, respectively.
