Benzimidazoles may be formed in high yield through the phosphite‐triggered reductive cyclization of o ‐nitroaniline derivatives. This reaction was used for the one‐pot synthesis of benzimidazoles from o ‐nitrophenols and isocyanides. The mechanism is discussed in relation with nitroso intermediates.
