Procedure
4-Bromo-5-trifluoromethyl-benzene-1,2-diamine (200 mg, 0.785 mmol) was dissolved in formic acid (3 ml), and the mixture was stirred at 120° C. for six hours. The reaction solution was concentrated, and water was added to the resulting residue, followed by extraction with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was washed with water and saturated brine, dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate and concentrated under reduced pressure to give 5-bromo-6-trifluoromethyl-1H-benzimidazole (201 mg) as a crude compound.
