Construction of Tetrahydropyridobenzimidazoles via Ni–Al Bimetal-Catalyzed Tandem C(sp2)/C(sp3)–H Annulation

Abstract Tetrahydropyridobenzimidazoles are privileged heterocyclic motifs prevalent in bioactive molecules. While transition-metal-catalyzed C–H annulation of benzimidazoles has emerged as a highly atom-economical approach, current strategies are largely limited to single C–H an...
