Conclusions

  1. 1.

    New halogen derivatives of 1-ethyl-2-methyl-, 2-methyl- and 5-hydroxybenzimidazole were obtained.

  2. 2.

    A method for the chlorination of aromatic compounds by an alcoholic solution of hydrogen chloride in the presence of hydrogen peroxide was proposed, which enables carrying out the reaction with a high yield.

  3. 3.

    The reactivity of the series of 5(6)-hydroxybenzimidazole derivatives during the electrophilic substitution (halogenation) was shown to be as follows: 1-ethyl-2-methyl-5-hydroxybenzimidazole >5(6)-hydroxybenzimidazole ≥ 2-methyl-5-hydroxybenzimidazole.
