Synthesis of Multifunctional 2-Aminobenzimidazoles on DNA via Iodine-Promoted Cyclization.

Abstract

2-Aminobenzimidazole cores are among the most common structural components in medicinal chemistry and can be found in many biologically active molecules. Herein, we report a mild protocol for the synthesis of multifunctional 2-aminobenzimidazoles on-DNA with broad substrate scopes. The reaction conditions expand our ability to design and synthesize 2-aminobenzimidazole core-focused DNA-encoded libraries.
