Abstract

Abstract: A variety of fused ring imidazole or benzimidazole derivatives were prepared through two successive condensations of a dihalide with 4, 5-diphenylimidazole or benzimidazole. The 2-methyl substituted derivatives of 4, 5-diphenylimidazole or benzimidazole were also used. The size of the annelated ring, which is dependent on the dihalide used, can be varied from five to seven atoms. Initially, N-alkylhalo derivatives ...
