Abstract
Abstract Oxalic acid was found to be a versatile catalyst for the synthesis of 2-aryl-1- arylmethyl-1H-benzimidazoles and 2-aryl-4, 5-diphenyl-1H-imidazoles in moderate to excellent isolated yields. 2-Aryl-1-arylmethyl-1H-benzimidazoles were efficiently synthesized from o-phenylenediamine and various substituted aldehydes using 10 mol% oxalic acid. 2-Aryl-4, 5-diphenyl-1H-imidazoles were synthesized from benzil or benzoin, ...
