Abstract:

Benzimidazoles have been efficiently synthesized in high yields by treatment of 1,2-phenylenediamine with aldehydes using Zinc acetate in acetonitrile. An absolute testing was carried out with ortho-phenylenediamine and 3,4,5-trimethoxy benzaldehyde in the absence of the catalyst zinc acetate and the essential 3,4,5-trimethoxy benzimidazole product was not establish even after stirring for 15 hours.Aromatic aldehydes responded very well to afford the consistent products of benzimidazole derivatives in very good to outstanding yields. In overall, the aromatic aldehydes having electron donating groups and electron withdrawing groups are reacting very healthy.

Keywords:

Benzimidazoles, aldehydes,orthophenylenediamine, Zinc Acetate.
