Abstract
9-(H)Alkyl-2,3-dioxo-2,3-dihydroimidazo[1,2-a]benzimidazoles were synthesized by the action of oxalyl chloride on 2-amino-1(H)alkylbenzimidazoles and subsequent cyclization of the resulting 2-amino-1-(H)alkyl-3-chlorooxalylbenzimidazolium chlorides in the presence of triethylamine. The behavior of the synthesized benzimidazoles with respect to the action of alkalis, lithium aluminum hydride, and ethylmagnesium bromide was studied.
