Participants

Reaction Steps

The title compound was prepared by the method of Example 1 using 3.52 g of 2-mercapto-4-methylbenzimidazole instead of 2-mercaptobenzimidazole and 3.52 g of 2-(chloromethyl) aniline hydrochloride instead of 2-(chloromethyl)-N,N-dimethylaniline. Recrystallization from diethyl ether gave 1.23 g of the title compound: m.p. 125-127° C. Analysis. Calc'd. for C15H15N3S: C, 66.89; H, 5.61; N,15.60; S, 11.90. Found: C, 66.76; H, 5.62; N, 15.41; S, 11.87.
