Participants

Reaction Steps

N-(4,5,6,7-Tetrahydro-1H-benzo[d]imidazol-2-yl)acetamide (0.40 g) was heated at reflux in a stirred solution of 1:1 methanol/water (5 mL) containing 5 drops of concentrated sulfuric acid for 12 hours. The mixture was cooled and evaporated to dryness on the lyophilizer to give 0.31 g of 4,5,6,7-tetrahydro-1H-benzo[d]imidazol-2-amine. 1H-NMR (400 MHz, DMSO-d6) 13.4 (bs, 1H), 6.59 (bs, 2H), 2.55 (m, 2H), 2.49 (m, 2H), 1.67 (m, 2H), 1.62 (m, 2H).
