Abstract

Benzimidazole derivatives have been synthesized using a catalytic amount of lead peroxide (PbO2) at room temperature with excellent yields. The remarkable selectivities under mild, neutral and solvent-free conditions and use of a commercially available, inexpensive catalyst are attractive features of this method.
