In view of obtaining some potential antibacterial compounds, we have described synthesis of some chloroaryloxyalkyl imidazole and benzimidazole derivatives. The relevant step in the synthetic sequence was the initial condensation of 4-chloro or 2, 4-dichlorophenol with 1, n-dibromoalkanes (n= 2, 4, 5) to provide compounds 3a–f in sufficient yields. The subsequent condensation of 3a–f with some imidazole derivatives and benzimidazole ...
