Dimethylacetamide → 2-(2,4-Dimethyl-pyrrol-3-yl)-5-benzoylbenzimidazole

Participants

Reaction Steps

3,4-Diaminobenzophenone (1.48 g) and sodium hydrogensulfite (0.87 g) were added to N,N-dimethylacetamide (5 ml) at 130° C., and stirred for 5 minutes. 2,4-Dimethyl-3-formyl-pyrrole (1.03 g) was added and stirred at 130° C. for 8 hours. The reaction mixture was cooled to room temperature and stirred, and after addition of water to reaction mixture, precipitate was collected by filtration, and dried in vacuo to afford 2-(2,4-dimethyl-pyrrol-3-yl)-5-benzoylbenzimidazole (1.78 g, 81%) as a brown solid.
