Cycloaddition of 2-phenacyl-1H-benzimidazole to 2-phenyl- or 2-methyl-4-arylidene-1,3-oxazol-5-ones occurs regioselectively to form the previously unknown N-(3-aryl-4-benzoyl-1-oxo-1,2,3,4-tetra-hydropyrido[1,2-a]benzimidazol-2-yl)benz- and -acetamides. The analogous cycloaddition of the 2-acetonyl-1H-benzimidazole is complicated by prototropic isomerization and leads to the correspon-ding 1,2,3,5-tetrahydropyrido[1,2-a]benzimidazole.How to Cite
