Copeland synthesized about 10 kinds of 2-N-substituted carbamoylbenzimidazoles (I) as a compound of physiological interest but compounds with alkyl- or aryl-carbamoyl substituted in 5- or 6-position have not been reported. In order to prepare this compound reductive cyclization of 2′-nitro-4′-alkyl (or aryl) carbamoyl-acetanilide (III or IV) (Table I) with sodium dithionite was carried out and 2-methyl-5 (or 6)-alkyl (or aryl) carbamoylbenzimidazole (V or VI) (Table II) was obtained in a good yield. Isolation procedure was quite simple and a good result was obtained. (III) and (IV) are obtained by the application of amines to 3-nitro-4-acetamidobenzoyl chloride. Both (III) and (IV), and compounds derived from them, (V) and (VI), are new substances. The amines used in the foregoing reaction were primary amines, R-NH2 with R=CH3, C2H5, n-C3H7, iso-C3H7, n-C4H9, iso-C4H9, tert-C4H9, n-C5H11, n-C6H13, CH3(CH2)3CH(C2H5)CH2, n-C12H25, n-C18H37, C6H5, CH2(CH2)4CH, and C6H5CH2, and secondary amines, R2NH with R=CH3, C2H5, n-C3H7, iso-C3H7, n-C4H9, iso-C4H9, C6H5, CH2(CH2)4CH, C6H5CH, morpholine, and piperidine.
