Reaction Steps

1.7 g. of 5-nitro-1-methyl-2-imidazolyl carboxylic acid and 1.08 g. of o-phenylenediamine are heated for 40 minutes in a bomb tube to 180° C. in 10 ml. of 25% hydrochloric acid. After evaporating the reaction mixture to dryness and column chromatography on 100 g. of silica gel with methanol-chloroform 1 : 1, 120 mg. of 2-(5-nitro-1-methyl-2-imidazolyl)-benzimidazole is obtained, m.p. 257° C.
