Application

2-Chlorobenzimidazole, a beige to brown crystalline powder, serves primarily in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and as an intermediary in organic synthesis processes. It facilitates the production of various compounds, including 1-methyl-2-chlorobenzimidazole through its reaction with dimethyl sulfate, 1-ethyl-2-chlorobenzimidazole via diethyl sulfate, and 1-benzyl-2-chlorobenzimidazole when reacting with benzyl chloride. Additionally, it undergoes bromination to form 2-chloro-4,5,6,7-tetrabromobenzimidazole. Furthermore, its versatility makes it a useful building block in the synthesis of 4-amino-6-benzimidazole-pyrimidines.
