Description

Product Description 

Mercaptobenzimidazole is the organosulfur compound with the formula C6H4(NH)2C=S. It is the mercaptan of benzimidazole. It is a white solid that has been investigated as a corrosion inhibitor. The name is a misnomer because the compound is a thiourea, characterized with a short C=S bond length of 169 pm. A similar situation applies to 2-mercaptoimidazole, which is also a thiourea properly called 2-imidazolidinethione and mercaptobenzothiazole, which is also a thiomide.

Application

2-Mercaptobenzimidazole can be used:

  • To prepare 2-benzimidazolylthioacetophenones by reacting with aromatic ketones, which is a key intermediate for the synthesis of thiazolo[3,2-a]benzimidazoles.
  • To synthesize S-arylated 2-mercapto-benzimidazoles via S-arylation with substituted aryl iodides using CuI and 1,10-phenanthroline.
