Reaction Steps

A suspension of 20.0 g (0.092 mole) of 5-trifluoromethyl-2-mercaptobenzimidazole and 13.1 g (0.092 mole) of methyl iodide in 200 ml of ethanol is heated to the boil for three hours. The solvent is stripped off in vacuo and the residue is recrystallized from acetonitrile. 17.5 g (82%) of 5-trifluoromethyl-2-methylthio-benzimidazole of m.p. 145°-146° C. are obtained.
