W. Zielinski et Mea. Zaki, SYNTHESIS OF NEW HETEROCYCLIC BENZIMIDAZOLE DERIVATIVES BASED ON 2-CYANOMETHYLBENZIMIDAZOLE, Polish Journal of Chemistry, 68(8), 1994, pp. 1569-1574
It was found that N-acyl derivatives of 2-cyanomethylbenzimidazole(2)
may form fused heterocyclic systems and, through 1-3 migration of acyl
groups into more thermodynamically stable C-acyl derivatives (3), rin
g assembled systems. A migration of acyl groups in reverse direction i
n C-acyl derivatives (3) was observed.
