چکیده

Small amount of Zn dust and NaHSO3 was utilized to efficiently synthesize benzimidazole derivatives via one pot reductive cyclocondensation process in water medium at 100oC temperature. Very good to excellent yields in reasonably short reaction times, high atom economy and usage of readily available starting material, operational simplicity and easy workup are the fundamental features of this protocol.
