Three-component reactions of 2-aminobenzimidazole with arylglyoxals and 1,3-cyclohexanedione have been studied under conventional heating and microwave irradiation. Different product types including the Michael adduct and fused heterocyclic systems were obtained. Conditions for the selective formation of 12-aroylbenzimidazo[2,1-b]quinazolin-1(2H)-ones and 3-oxo-2-(2-aryl-1H-imidazo[1,2-a]-benzimidazol-9-ium-3-yl)cyclohex-1-enolates have been determined. The structures of all compound types were established by an X-ray diffraction study.
