Two series of novel acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and butyrylcholinesterase (BChE) inhibitors containing benzimidazole core structure were synthesized by a four-step reaction pathway starting from 4-fluoro-3-nitrobenzoic acid as the basic compound. The structure of the novel benzimidazoles was characterized and confirmed by

An efficient method for the solid-phase synthesis of trisubstituted [1,3,5]triazino[1,2-a]benzimidazole-2,4(3H,10H)-diones from resin-bound amino acids is described. N-acylation of the primary amine of a resin-bound amino acid with 4-fluoro-3-nitrobenzoic acid, followed by displacement of the fluoro group and reduction of the
