To a solution of 3-ethoxycarbonyl-1,2-phenylenediamine (790 mg) in tetrahydrofuran (10 ml) was added 1,1′-thiocarbonyldiimidazole (1.02 g) in ice water bath and the mixture was stirred for 20 hours at ambient temperature. The reaction solvent was concentrated in vacuo and the residue was washed with chloroform and collected by vacuum filtration to give ethyl 2-mercapto-1H-benzimidazole-4-carboxylate (665 mg).
