First, imagine having a tool that lets you create two different useful compounds from the same starting materials.
This new method can do just that with benzimidazoles. It makes two different types of products by tweaking the conditions.
The process involves some complex steps like breaking and forming carbon-carbon bonds, but it's all guided by a catalyst.
This catalyst, it is Palliadium or Bismuth.
Palliadium is a metal that has been in use for a long time in chemistry. However, when used in this way it is unique.
The key to this method is the catalyst. You can treat your compounds differently and create something new and something old.
However, this method is efficient and produces high yields of the desired products. The products are (Z)-N-vinyl and N-allenyl benzimidazoles.
These compounds have something amazing:
Active imidazoheterocycles compounds.
They have a huge potential in medicine.
The focus is to make a tool for chemists.
That tool can be used to make a product that can be used in medicine.
Think about this, most reactions in the lab can only give one product.
This tool can give a lab worker two products.
Isn't that great?
This isn't just about making products. It's about making products that can be used for something.
This new method is versatile.
It works with a range of starting materials. This method works with a different starting material.
The thing that makes this method interesting is its broad substrate scope and good functional group tolerance.
What makes this method more interesting is that it can be done at room temperature. This makes it easier and faster.
