Abstract

A new method has been developed for the synthesis of benzimidazole carbothioamides, which have potential pharmacological activity, by a three-component reaction of 1-substituted benzimidazoles, phenylcyanoacetylene, and methyl, allyl, or phenyl isothiocyanates. The reaction of these components proceeds under mild conditions in acetonitrile at 50-55°C for 12-20 h and stereoselectively leads to N‑[(Z)-2-cyano-1-phenylethenyl]benzimidazole-2-carbothioamides in 43-82% yield.
