An efficient synthesis of some new bisbenzimidazoles via microwave technique

Abstract

2,2’-[1,4 (1,3)-Phenylenedi(methylene)]bis-1 H -benzimidazole derivatives were obtained from the reaction of 1,4- or (1,3)-bisiminoester hydrochloride and o -phenylenediamine derivatives under microwave irradiation. Ester and hydrazide derivatives were prepared from a free NH group. This practical method revealed good results for yield, reaction time, and quick isolation of products.
