The sequence of the reactions employed for the construction of novel indole–benzimidazole-based 1,2,3-triazole hybrids is demonstrated in Scheme 1. Compound 2 was prepared by treating propargyl bromide with 1H-indole-3-carbaldehyde (1) in presence of potassium carbonate in dry acetone at reflux temperature [26]. Compound 2 was further reacted by heating at reflux temperature with o-phenylenediamine (OPDA) in chloroform for 6 h afforded compound 3. Compound 3 coupled with variously substituted azides by Azide-Alkyne Cycloaddition reaction to afford title compounds 4a–j. The variously substituted azides were achieved according to the literature procedure [27,28]. In order to develop a high yield synthetic protocol for the synthesis of title compounds
