We have prepared a set of heterocyclic benzimidazole derivatives bearing amidino substituents at C-5 of benzimidazole ring, by introducing various heterocyclic nuclei (pyridine, N-methyl-pyrrole or imidazole) at C-2, and evaluated their antitumor and antiviral activities. The most pronounced antiproliferative activity was shown with compounds 6 and 9, having imidazolinylamidino-substituent. Int...

Benzotriazole corrosion inhibitors are not completely removed during wastewater treatment and are frequently detected in surface waters. Here, the photochemical kinetics of benzotriazoles and structurally related compounds were assessed for natural aqueous environments. The direct photochemical half-lives during exposure to simulated sunlight ranged from 1.3 to 1.8 days for benzotriazole and it...

BACKGROUND We report the synthesis of benzimidazoles using lanthanum chloride as an efficient catalyst. One-pot synthesis of 2-substituted benzimidazole derivatives from o-phenylenediamine and a variety of aldehydes were developed under mild reaction conditions. RESULTS We have examined the effect of different solvents using the same reaction conditions. The yield of the product varied with t...

The asymmetric unit of the title compound, C(23)H(17)F(3)N(2)O(2), contains two mol-ecules. In one of the mol-ecules, the phenyl and triflouromethyl-substituted benzene rings form dihedral angles of 52.05 (8) and 33.70 (8)°, respectively, with the benzimidazole ring system, while the dihedral angle between them is 58.24 (10)°. The corresponding values in the other mol-ecule are 58.40 (8), 25.90...
