Abstract
A highly recyclable nonnoble cobalt nanocomposite catalyzed the coupling of phenylenediamines and aldehydes to provide a wide range of biologically active benzimidazoles in high yields with good functional-group tolerance under additive- and oxidant-free conditions. The catalyst can be easily recycled for successive uses.
