Participants

Reaction Steps

2-(4-Nitrophenyl)-5-trifluoromethyl benzimidazole was synthesized as follows: 1,2-diamino-4-trifluoromethylbenzene (1.76 g, 10.0 mmole) was mixed with 4-nitrobenzoic acid (1.67 g, 9.8 mmole), dissolved in POCl3 (12 ml), and heated to reflux for 2.5 hours. The reaction mixture was cooled and cautiously poured onto ice. The resulting solid was filtered, washed with NaHCO3 and used without further purification.
