摘要

The 2-substituted benzimidazole has emerged as a promising heterocyclic compound in the field of drug design. In pursuit of more sustainable photocatalysts for 2-substituted benzimidazole synthesis, the method for coating Fe3O4 with V-doped TiO2 was presented. On the base of characterizing composition, morphology, and properties, the prepared nano-sized Fe3O4@V/TiO2 composites were used as a heterogeneous photocatalyst to catalyze the synthesis of 2-substituted benzimidazoles under light. The photocatalyst Fe3O4@V/TiO2 composites showed the enhanced photocatalytic activity compared to no V-doped Fe3O4@TiO2, being able to yield various 2-substituted benzimidazoles in moderate to good yield with recyclability and stability. A possible photocatalysis mechanism was investigated. It was evident that holes, singlet oxygen, and ·O2̄ radical played important roles in the synthesis of 2-substituted benzimidazole. Moreover, some of the obtained products were demonstrated excellent antibacterial activity.

Graphical abstract

2-Substituted benzimidazole derivatives were synthesized using the prepared Fe3O4@V/TiO2 as a photocatalyst at room temperature under visible light, and their anti-Mycobacterium tuberculosis activity was evaluated.
