Abstract

2-Aroylmethyl-1H-benzimidazole hydrazones are converted to 1-[pyrazol-3(5)-yl]benzimidazoles by refluxing in dimethylformamide in the presence of trifluoroacetic acid. The same products are obtained by refluxing 2-aroylmethyl-1H-benzimidazoles with hydrazine hydrochloride in dimethylformamide. Electron donor substituents in the para position of the aryl fragment of the starting compounds do not favor the reaction.
