| Abstract: | Procedures involving condensation of o-phenylenediamines with carboxylic acids, and reaction of bifunctional alkyl halides with bifunctional nucleophiles are described. Syntheses are reported of 2,6-bis-(2-benzimidazyl)-pyridine, 1,3-bis(2-benzimidazyl)-2-thiapropane, 1,7-bis(2-benzimidazyl)-2,6-dithiaheptane, 2-hydroxymethyl-5,6-dimethylbenzimidazole, 2-chloromethyl-5,6-dimethylbenzimidazole hydrochloride, 1,7-bis(5,6-dimethyl-2-benzimidazyl)-2,6-dithiaheptane, 3,6-bis(1-pyrazolyl)pyridazine, 2-(2-hydroxy-3-methyl–phenyl)benzimidazole, 2-(2-hydroxyphenyl)benzimidazole, 5-(2-hydroxphenyl)-3-methyl-1-phenylpyrazole, 3(5)-(2-hydroxyphenyl)-5(3)-methylpyrazole, 3(5)-(2-hydroxyphenyl)-5(3)-phenylpyrazole, and 1,3-bis((5-methylpyridyl)imino)isoindoline. |
