Abstract
The reaction of 2-aminobenzimidazole (1) with acetylene under pressure proceeds with the formation of vinyl monomers, corresponding to amine and imine forms, 1-vinyl-2-amino- and 1,3-divinyl-2-iminobenzimidazoles, depending on the reaction conditions. 1,3-Divinyl-2-benzimidazolone was also isolated in aqueous dioxane in addition to the monovinyl derivative of1. Cyclization of the divinyl derivative of1 with acetylene proceeds to give 9-vinyl-1,2-dimethylimidazo[1,2-a]-benzimidazole.
