Participants

Reaction Steps

48.8 g (0.2 mol) of 1-(2-ethylhexyl)-2-methylbenzimidazole (prepared by the alkylation of 2-methylbenzimidazole and 2-ethylhexyl bromide under phase transfer conditions), 25 g (0.2 mol) of o-aminothiophenol and 19.2 g (0.6 mol) of sulphur in 200 ml of pyridine are heated for 18 hours under reflux. Then the pyridine is distilled off and the remaining residue is dissolved by heating in 80 g of ethanol. After cooling, 55.2 g (76% of theory) of the product, which, according to its melting point and HPLC and UV analysis, is identical to the compound obtained in Example 18 by route A, are precipitated.
