A novel visible-light-introduced reaction for the construction of benzimidazole derivatives via radical cyclization of o-phenylenediamines with benzonitrile derivatives in water has been developed. The reaction has been achieved in high yield under mild conditions by using Eosin Y as photocatalyst, which is cheap, easy to handle and environmentally friendly. A variety of benzimidazoles were obtained in up to 91% yields. It might provide a promising protocol for the synthesis of benzimidazole derivatives.
