Abstract
Quantum-chemical calculations of the recyclization of 2-phenacyl-1H-benzimidazole phenylhydrazone to a pyrazole compound agree with the experimental data. The transformation is impossible during heating and acid catalysis but does occur under the conditions of acylation. It takes place through the selective formation and spontaneous intramolecular rearrangement of the corresponding N-acylbenzimidazolium salt.
