Hazard information
Regulatory Information
Chemical: 1H-Benzimidazol-2-amine
Commission Regulation No 844/2012
1H-Benzimidazol-2-amine: Does not have an individual approval but may be used under an appropriate group standard
Reactivity Profile
2-AMINOBENZIMIDAZOLE neutralizes acids in exothermic reactions to form salts plus water. May be incompatible with isocyanates, halogenated organics, peroxides, phenols (acidic), epoxides, anhydrides, and acid halides. May generate hydrogen, a flammable gas, in combination with strong reducing agents such as hydrides.
Safety & protection
First Aid
EYES: First check the victim for contact lenses and remove if present. Flush victim's eyes with water or normal saline solution for 20 to 30 minutes while simultaneously calling a hospital or poison control center. Do not put any ointments, oils, or medication in the victim's eyes without specific instructions from a physician. IMMEDIATELY transport the victim after flushing eyes to a hospital even if no symptoms (such as redness or irritation) develop.
Nonfire Spill Response
SMALL SPILLS AND LEAKAGE: Should a spill occur while you are handling this chemical, FIRST REMOVE ALL SOURCES OF IGNITION, then you should dampen the solid spill material with 60-70% ethanol and transfer the dampened material to a suitable container. Use absorbent paper dampened with 60-70% ethanol to pick up any remaining material. Seal the absorbent paper, and any of your clothes, which may be contaminated, in a vapor-tight plastic bag for eventual disposal. Solvent wash all contaminated surfaces with 60-70% ethanol followed by washing with a soap and water solution. Do not reenter the contaminated area until the Safety Officer (or other responsible person) has verified that the area has been properly cleaned.
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)
RECOMMENDED RESPIRATOR: Where the neat test chemical is weighed and diluted, wear a NIOSH-approved half face respirator equipped with an organic vapor/acid gas cartridge (specific for organic vapors, HCl, acid gas and SO2) with a dust/mist filter. (NTP, 1992)

Applications
Uses2-Aminobenzimidazole was used in the hydrolysis of a choline carbonate. It was also used in the synthesis of imidazo[1,2-a]benzimidazoles.
General DescriptionPlates (in water); white powder.
Preparation methods
PreparationSynthesis of 2-aminobenzimidazole: Cyanogen bromide (3.5 g., 0.034 mole) was added in small portions, with shaking, to a suspension of o-phenylenediamine (4.2 g. , 0.34 mole) in water (40 ml), the exothermic reaction mixture was cooled to room temperature and it was stirred for 36hrs. The solution was filtered after standing overnight. Sodium hydroxide (1.4 g., 0.034 mole) in 30 ml of water was then added and the solution was evaporated. The solid thus obtained was filtered and recrystalized from water. Yield 85%, m.p. 228 - 230°C
