Procedure
11.7 g of N-methyl-o-phenylenediamine hydrochloride, 9.1 g of carbon disulfide and an aqueous solution containing 7.2 g of sodium hydroxide and 20 ml of water were added to 150 ml of ethanol and the mixture was heated and refluxed for 4 hours. After cooling, a 3 N hydrochloric acid aqueous solution was added to the reaction mixture to make the reaction solution slightly acidic and, thereby, crystals were precipitated. After filtration, the crystals were recrystallized from a mixture of water and ethanol (70:30 by volume) to obtain 6 g of 2-mercapto-1-methylbenzimidazole (Compound (III-11)) having a melting point of 194° to 195° C. (yield: 67%).
