Procedure

2-(3,4-Diaminophenyl)benzonitrile (0.04 moles, 8.3 g) was refluxed in 100 ml formic acid for 3 hours. The solution was concentrated in vacuo, triturated with toluene, and dissolved in water. The pH of the solution was adjusted to 7.5 with 2N sodium hydroxide. The intermediate was extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was dried over sodium sulfate and concentrated in vacuo. The solid was triturated with 25% ethyl acetate/75% hexane, filtered and purified by HPLC on silica gel eluted with a gradient of 50-75% ethyl acetate in hexane. The reaction yielded 7.3 g of 5-(2-Cyanophenyl)benzimidazole. (MS)
