“…A rather wide variety of o-diamines have been used successfully in this reaction, including those which contain alkyl (303), alkoxy (157), halogen (243,303), carboxy (155, 192,193), carbalkoxy (397), arsonic acid (421), and stibinic acid (360, 704, 706) groups on the benzene ring. N-Monosubstituted o-phenylenediamines lead to 1-substituted benzimidazolones (421,608).…”
