abstract

  • 2014 Verlag Helvetica Chimica Acta AG, Zrich. A new and efficient methodology for the synthesis of 2-substituted benzimidazoles is described. In this procedure, CS2 unexpectedly facilitated the cyclization reaction between benzene-1,2-diamine and benzenecarbaldehydes in CH2Cl2 at room temperature. The reactions occur under mild conditions require simpler equipment and easier workup procedures.
