Abstract

PyridoACHTUNGTRENNUNG [1, 2-a] benzimidazoles [1, 2a] are interesting compounds both from the viewpoint of medicinal chemistry [2–7](solubility,[7] DNA intercalation [3]) and materials chemistry [8](fluorescence). Of note among the former is the antibiotic drug Rifaximin,[5] which contains this heteroaromatic core. The classical synthetic approach for the assembly of pyrido-ACHTUNGTRENNUNG [1, 2-a] benzimidazoles is by [3+ 3] ...
