Abstract: | FeCl3-doped polyaniline nanoparticles efficiently catalyze the synthesis of 2-substituted benzimidazoles by the reaction of aldehydes with o-phenylenediamine. Synthesis and characterization of the catalyst are described, and the obtained results confirms good dispersion of the FeCl3 on the polyaniline. Simple workup, mild reaction conditions, low cost, easy separation, and reusability of the catalyst are some advantages of this method. |
