Background: 2, 4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid, (2, 4-D) is a selective herbicide available as the acids, esters and several salts which vary in their chemical properties, environmental behaviour, and to a lesser extent toxicity. The salt and ester forms are derivatives of the parent acid. It is widely used as a weed killer. The 2, 4-D dimethylamine is one of the salts of this group. Case Presenta...

Ethyl 4-(butylamino)-3-nitrobenzoate upon “one-pot” nitro-reductive cyclization using sodium dithionite and substituted aldehyde in dimethyl sulphoxide affords ethyl 1-butyl-2-(2-hydroxy-4-methoxyphenyl)-1H-benzo[d]imidazole-5-carboxylate an 87% yield. The structural characterization was determined by Fourier-transfer infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), Proton nuclear magnetic resonance (1H-NMR), Ca...
