Significance

Amberlite resin-bound hexafluorophosphate (Amberlite-PF6) was prepared by treatment of Amberlite 900 with aqueous NaPF6 (eq. 1). In the presence of Amberlite-PF6, the annulation of phenylenediamines 1 with aldehydes 2 took place to give the corresponding benzimidazoles 3 (25 examples, 72–96% yield).

Comment

The binding of hexafluorophosphate on Amberlite resin was confirmed by IR spectra (557 and 832 cm–1), though other characterizations were not given. Phenylenediamines 1 also reacted with α-bromoketones 4 in the presence of Amberlite-PF6 to give the corresponding quinoxalines 5 via an aromatization step.
