Abstract

Abstract A simple and efficient procedure for the synthesis of substituted benzimidazoles through a one-pot condensation of o-phenylenediamines with aryl aldehydes in the presence of H 2 O 2/HCl system in acetonitrile at room temperature is described. Short reaction time, large-scale synthesis, easy and quick isolation of the products, and excellent yields are the main advantages of this procedure.
