In 2019,Organic & Biomolecular Chemistry included an article by Wang, Xin; Li, Changhao; Zhang, Yixiao; Zhang, Bing; Sun, Kai. Electric Literature of C7H5ClN2. The article was titled 《Direct methyl C(sp3)-H azolation of thioanisoles via oxidative radical coupling》. The information in the text is summarized as follows:
A method for metal-free, 1,3-dibromo-5,5-dimethylhydantoin mediated Me C(sp3)-H bond azolation of thioanisoles RC6H4SCH3 (R = H, 2-H3CO, 3-Cl, 4-F, etc.) has been developed, affording a facile route for the construction of nitrogen-functionalized thioanisoles RC6H4SCH2R1 (R1 = 2-chloro-1H-1,3-benzodiazol-1-yl, 1H-1,2,3-benzotriazol-1-yl, 5-phenyl-1H-1,2,3,4-tetrazol-1-yl, etc.), possibly via a nitrogen-centered radical process. This reaction represents an important addition to the limited number of existing methods for the Me C(sp3)-H bond functionalization of thioanisoles, and may find practical application in the synthesis of nitrogen-alkylated azoles. After reading the article, we found that the author used 2-Chloro-1H-benzo[d]imidazole(cas: 4857-06-1Electric Literature of C7H5ClN2)
2-Chloro-1H-benzo[d]imidazole(cas: 4857-06-1) binds to monoclonal antibodies, inhibiting their binding to their corresponding antigens. This activity may be due to its ability to bind covalently with amino groups on proteins and other molecules.Electric Literature of C7H5ClN2
