Participants

Reaction Steps

2-(4-Nitrophenyl)-4,5-dimethyl benzimidazole was prepared by mixing 1,2-diamino-3,4-dimethylbenzene (1.36 g, 9.8 mmole) with 4-nitrobenzoic acid (1.67 g, 9.8 mmole) and dissolved in POCl3 (10 ml) and heated to reflux for 2.5 hours. The reaction mixture was cooled and cautiously poured onto ice. The resulting solid was filtered, washed with NaHCO3 and used without further purification.
