Abstract
For the first time, 1-amino-3-alkylbenzimidazolinethiones were obtained by heating 1-amino-3-alkylbenzimidazolium iodides with sulfur in the presence of triethylamine. They were converted to 1-amino-3-alkyl-2-(methylthio)benzimidazolium salts, which, during reaction with CH-acid onions, gave the corresponding 1-amino-3-alkyl-2-methylenebenzimidazoline derivatives. Under conditions of alkaline or acid catalysis, the latter derivatives cyclized to 2-amino- or 2-hydroxy derivatives of pyrazolo[1,5-a]benzimidazole.
