A Simple and Convenient One-Pot Synthesis of Benzimidazole Derivatives Using Cobalt(II) Chloride Hexahydrate as Catalyst

Abstract

Abstract A simple and efficient method for the convenient synthesis of 2-arylbenzimidazole has been described on reaction with o-phenylenediamine and various aromatic aldehydes using cobalt(II) chloride hexahydrate as a catalyst. The method is cost-effective, high-yielding, clean, and selective.
