Procedure

5-bromo-3-fluorobenzene-1,2-diamine (0.2 g, 0.975 mmol) was mixed with 1 ml water followed by formic acid (0.1 mL, 3 mmol). The dark brown mixture was stirred at 100° C. for 6 hours. The reaction was cooled to room temperature and treated with 3 mL 1 N KOH (cold) and the precipitated solids were collected by filtration and air dried overnight to yield 162 mg of 6-bromo-4-fluoro-1H-benzo[d]imidazole as a light pink solid. LC/MS @ 215 (M+H).
