Abstract
The possibility of annelation of the imidazoline ring on the basis of 2(2-hydroxyethylamino)-benzimidazoles was studied. It was shown that the action of hydrobromic, sulfuric, nitrosylsulfuric, and polyphosphoric acids, acetic anhydride, and phosphorus oxychloride on them does not lead to 2,3-dihydroimidazo[1,2-a]-benzimidazoles. In the case of POCl3 the products were 2-(2-chloroethylamino)benzimidazoles, treatment of which with alcoholic alkali led primarily to nucleophilic substitution of the chlorine atom by a methoxy group. Three-ring imidazolines are formed in 12–15% yields in this case. It was established that the reaction proceeds through the intermediate formation of aziridine derivatives.
