Development of a New Arylamination Reaction Catalyzed by Polymer Bound 1,3-(Bisbenzimidazolyl) Benzene Co(II) Complex and Generation of Bioactive Adamanate Amines
Abstract
We herein report the preparation and characterization of an inexpensive polymer supported 1,3-bis(benzimidazolyl)benzeneCo(II) complex [PS-Co(BBZN)Cl2] as a catalyst by using the polymer (divinylbenzene cross-linked chloromethylated polystyrene), on which 1,3-bis(benzimidazolyl)benzeneCo(II) complex (PS-Co(BBZN)Cl2) has been immobilized. This catalyst was employed to develop arylamination reaction and robustness of the same reaction was demonstrated by synthesizing various bioactive adamantanyl-tethered-biphenylamines. Our synthetic methodology was much improved than reported methods due to the use of an inexpensive and recyclable catalyst.
