Chih-Hau Chen et al.
Chemistry, an Asian journal, 6(6), 1557-1565 (2011-04-08)
A novel strategy for an unconventional Pictet-Spengler reaction has been developed for the regioselective cyclization of the imidazole ring system at the C2 position. The developed strategy was utilized to develop a diversity-oriented parallel synthesis for bis(heterocyclic) skeletal novel analogs

European journal of medicinal chemistry, 93, 614-624 (2014-07-06)
A total of 51 novel benzimidazoles were synthesized by a 4-step reaction starting from basic compound 4-fluoro-3-nitrobenzoic acid under relatively mild reaction conditions. The structure of the novel benzimidazoles was confirmed by mass spectra as well as (1)H NMR spectroscopic
Yeong Keng Yoon et al.
Bioorganic chemistry, 49, 33-39 (2013-07-28)
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
