An efficient preparation of multisubstituted benzimidazoles and quinoxalin-2(1H)-ones by Ugi 4CC/aza-Wittig sequence was developed. The 2-azidobenzenamines, obtained from C-H activation of aromatic amine precursors, reacted with aldehydes, acids, and isocyanides to produce Ugi products, which were transformed to the benzimidazoles or quinoxalin-2(1H)-ones in moderate to good yields in further reaction with triphenylphos...
