Abstract
The alkene functionalised 2-aminobenzimidazole ring found in terrazoanthine natural products was synthesized in 3 steps from 1,2-epoxy-4-vinylcyclohexane via epoxide ring opening with toluenesulphonamide yielding 2 regioisomeric, separable amino alcohols. One isomer was oxidized to the corresponding ketone and subsequently condensed with cyanamide to furnish the title compound, which was characterized by 1H-NMR and 13C-NMR spectroscopy.
