Reaction Steps

N,N-Dimethylacetamide (5 ml) was heated to 130° C., and 3,4-diaminobenzophenone (150 mg, 0.71 mol) and sodium hydrogensulfite (89 mg, 0.85 mol) were added and stirred for 5 minutes. 2-Formyl-pyrrole (81 mg, 0.85 mol) was added and stirred at 130° C. for 1.5 hours. The reaction mixture was allowed to cool to room temperature with stirring, and after addition of water to reaction mixture, precipitate was collected by filtration to afford 5-benzoyl-2-(pyrrol-2-yl)-benzimidazole (129 mg, 63%) as a pale yellow solid.
