PROCESS FOR THE PREPARATION OF SUBSTITUTED 2-AMINOBENZIMIDAZOLYL

摘要

This invention concerns a process for preparing 2-amino-1,5(6)-substituted-benzimidazole compounds by reacting a 1-unsubstituted-2-amino-5(6)-substituted-benzimidazole compound with a sulfonyl chloride or a haloalkyl isothiocyanate in the presence of an alkali metal hydroxide or carbonate, water, and a water-miscible nonhydroxylic solvent.
