4-[(1-methyl-1H-benzimidazol-2-yl)oxy]aniline → HCID 21563670, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

An amount of 4.8 g of 2-(4'-aminophenoxy)-1-methylbenzimidazole is stirred with 2.3 g of bis-(trichloromethane-sulphonyl-trithiocarbonate in 25 ml of water for 24 hours at room temperature. The precipitate is separated, washed with sodium bicarbonate solution, and taken up in chloroform. After drying and distillation of the chloroform solution, the residue is boiled out with cyclohexane, filtered hot, and the filtrate diluted with petroleum ether. The 2-(4'-isothiocyanophenoxy)-1-methylbenzimidazole crystallising out melts at 59° to 61°C.
