Abstract:Alum, have been investigated for their catalytic activity in the condensation reaction between o-phenylenediamine and an aldehyde or a ketone to synthesizes 2-substituted benzimidazole and 1,5-disubstituted benzodiazepines respectively. The isolated yields of 2-substituted benzimidazole and 1,5-disubstituted benzodiazepines are in the range of 30% to 95%. This method has been found to be simple and economical. The solid supports could be regenerated and reused without much loss in their activity. Further, the … Show more
