In the present report an efficient, rapid, facile and inexpensive route for the synthesis of benzimidazoles using 1,2-arylenediamines and amides in acidic medium under thermal/microwave conditions is developed.

Derivatives of 1,3-thiazolidin-2,4-dione appended to biphenyl ring viz., 7-9, 16-18 were prepared. The newly synthesized compounds were confirmed by IR, NMR ( 1 H and 13 C) MS and elemental analyses. Single crystal X-ray diffraction study was carried out for one of the final compounds 9.
