Abstract

Abstract Treatment of 1-[(5-chloro-2-nitrophenyl) sulfonyl]-1H-pyrrole-2-carbohydrazide with powdered iron in glacial acetic acid afforded 1-amino-6-chloro-2-(1H-pyrrol-2-yl) benzimidazole as the sole product. This compound was also obtained by iron-acetic acid reduction of 1-(5-chloro-2-nitrophenyl)-1H-pyrrole-2-carbohydrazide. Splitting of the sulfone group occurred only in the presence of the carbohydrazide group. In fact, iron-acetic acid ...
