Abstract
A simple and practical method to access a variety of benzimidazol-2-ones is reported here. A series of N-alkyl-substituted benzimidazol-2-ones were synthesized by decarbonylative ring contraction starting from corresponding quinoxalinediones for the first time. The utility of the method has been demonstrated by synthesizing recently approved controversial drug flibanserin (Addyi) and a urea analogue of marine antibiotic natural product hunanamycin-A.
