BENZIMIDAZOLE - Preparation Method
Open Data Verified Data
obtained by cyclization of O-phenylenediamine with formic acid. The mixture of O-Phenylenediamine and formic acid was heated on a water bath for 2H, cooled, adjusted to pH = 10 with 10% sodium hydroxide solution, and the precipitated solid was filtered off and washed with cold water to give a crude product in 90% yield. The crude product is slightly boiled with water, decolorized with activated carbon, filtered while hot, the filtrate is cooled to room temperature, filtered again, washed with cold water, and dried at 100 ° C. To obtain the benzimidazole finished product.

| use | benzimidazole can be used to prepare imidazole, an intermediate of fungicides such as imidazole and prochloraz. Organic synthesis intermediates. Reagents for the determination of cobalt. It is used to synthesize drugs such as vitamin B12 and prepare high molecular compounds. Pesticide intermediate: fungicide intermediate: triazole fungicide |
| Production method | is obtained by cyclizing o-phenylenediamine and formic acid. The mixture of o-phenylenediamine and formic acid is heated in a water bath for 2 hours, cooled, adjusted the pH to 10 with 10% sodium hydroxide solution, filtered out the precipitated solid, and washed with cold water to obtain crude product. The crude product is slightly boiled with water, decolorized with activated carbon, filtered while hot, the filtrate is cooled to room temperature, filtered, washed with cold water, and dried at 100 ℃ to obtain the finished product. The yield of crude products is 90%. the preparation method is to add the crushed o-phenylenediamine into the reaction kettle, then pump into formic acid, keep the reaction temperature from 95 ℃ to 98 ℃, stir for 2 hours, cool and precipitate crystals, then neutralize to slightly alkaline with 10% NaOH, cool and filter, wash with water and dry to obtain benzimidazole. |
