Reactions of 2-carbonyl- and 2-hydroxy(or methoxy)alkylbenzimidazoles with arenes in the Brønsted superacid TfOH resulted in the formation of the corresponding Friedel-Crafts reaction products, 2-diarylmethyl and 2-arylmethyl-substituted benzimidazoles, in yields up to 90%. The reaction intermediates, protonated species derived from starting benzimidazoles in TfOH, were thoroughly studied by means of NMR and DFT calculations and plausible reaction mechanisms are discussed.

- Alexey N Turdakov's research primarily focuses on the reactivity of 2-carbonyl- and 2-hydroxyalkyl-substituted benzimidazoles in superacid environments, particularly investigating their interactions with arenes.
- The study published in the Beilstein Journal of Organic Chemistry demonstrates that these reactions under Brønsted superacid conditions lead to the efficient formation of Friedel-Crafts products, achieving yields as high as 90%.
- Employing NMR and DFT calculations, Turdakov rigorously analyzes the reaction intermediates and proposes plausible mechanisms for the formation of dicationic electrophilic species during the reaction process.
