Several new heterocyclic compounds such as benzimidazo[1,2a]piperazine derivatives (5-7;9,10 and 14,15,17) have been synthesized by the reactions of the versatile 2-(1-methyl-1H-benzo[d]imidazol-2-yl)-2-nitrosoacetonitrile (2) with malononitrile derivatives (3a-e) and 2-cyanomethylbenzimidazole derivatives (1b,c). Oxidation of iminopyrazino[1,2a]benzimidazole-3-carbothioamide derivatives 9 via refluxing in aqueous H2O2 solution afforded iminopyrazino[1,2-a]benzimidazole-3-carboamide derivatives
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
