Benzimidazole is a heterocyclic aromatic organic compound. This bicyclic compound may be viewed as fused rings of the aromatic compounds benzene and imidazole. It is a white solid that appears in form of tabular crystals.[2]
Preparation
Benzimidazole is produced by condensation of o-phenylenediamine with formic acid,[3]
- C6H4(NH2)2 + HC(OCH3)3 → C6H4N(NH)CH + 3 CH3OH
2-Substituted derivatives are obtained when the condensation is conducted with aldehydes in place of formic acid, followed by oxidation.[4]
Reactions
Benzimidazole is a base:
- C6H4N(NH)CH + H+ → [C6H4(NH)2CH]+
It can also be deprotonated with stronger bases:
- C6H4N(NH)CH + LiH → Li [C6H4N2CH] + H2
The imine can be alkylated and also serves as a ligand in coordination chemistry. The most prominent benzimidazole complex features N-ribosyl-dimethylbenzimidazole as found in vitamin B12.[5]
N,N'-Dialkylbenzimidazolium salts are precursors to certain N-heterocyclic carbenes.[6][7]
Applications
Benzimidazole derivatives are among the most frequently used ring systems for small molecule drugs listed by the United States Food and Drug Administration.[8] Many pharmaceutical agents belong to the benzimidazole class of compounds. For example:
- Angiotensin II receptor blockers such as azilsartan, candesartan, and telmisartan.
- Anthelmintic agents such as albendazole, ciclobendazole, fenbendazole, flubendazole, mebendazole, oxfendazole, oxibendazole, triclabendazole, and thiabendazole.
- Antihistamines such as astemizole, bilastine, clemizole, emedastine, mizolastine, and oxatomide.
- Benzimidazole fungicides such as benomyl, carbendazim, fuberidazole, and thiabendazole.
- Benzimidazole opioids such as bezitramide, brorphine, clonitazene, etodesnitazene, etonitazene, etonitazepipne, etonitazepyne, isotonitazene, metodesnitazene, and metonitazene.
- Proton-pump inhibitors such as dexlansoprazole, esomeprazole, ilaprazole, lansoprazole, omeprazole, pantoprazole, rabeprazole, and tenatoprazole.
- Typical antipsychotics such as benperidol, clopimozide, droperidol, neflumozide, and oxiperomide, and pimozide.
- Other notable pharmaceutical agents which contain a benzimidazole group include abemaciclib, bendamustine, dabigatran, daridorexant, and glasdegib.
In printed circuit board manufacturing, benzimidazole can be used as an organic solderability preservative.[citation needed]
Several dyes are derived from benzimidazoles.[9]
