Abstract

A simple and efficient route for synthesizing benzimidazoles from o-Phenylenediamine and aromatic aldehydes using rare earth metal catalyst like Thallium nitrate or Lanthanum nitrate has been proposed. The easy work-up, higher yields and shorter reaction times at room temperature are the advantages over other methods.
