Abstract

Abstract 2-Aminobenzimidazoles were reacted with enaminones in acetic acid to give pyrimido [1, 2-a] benzimidazoles. With a substituted enaminone only one regioisomer was obtained. Structural assignments based on nmr and uv spectroscopy are presented. Possible pathways leading to the products are discussed.
