摘要
The reactions of 2-methylbenzimidazole or 2-methylbenzimidazolium iodide with aromatic aldehydes are accelerated under microwave irradiation by using Ac2O or piperidine as dehydrant or catalyst in the absence of any solvent. The approach provides an attractive and environmentally friendly pathway to several useful styryl dyes with benzimidazole nucleus.
