ChemInform Abstract: Ligand-Free Pd/C-Catalyzed One-Pot, Three-Component Synthesis of Aryl-Substituted Benzimidazoles by Hydrogen-Transfer and Suzuki Reactions in Water.
An efficient protocol is developed for the ligand-free and heterogeneous Pd-C-catalyzed one-pot, three-component synthesis of aryl-substituted benzimidazoles from benzyl alcohols by using water as the solvent.
