Synthesis and Characterization of Some New Substituted Benzimidazolyl Acrylonitriles

Abstract

Abstract The reaction of 2-cyanomethylbenzimidazole (I) with substituted benzaldehyde in presence of piperidine afforded a series of new benzimidazolyl acrylonitriles (IIa-i). The structures of the products were confirmed by physical and spectroscopic methods, and supported by the 3D-configurational diagram.
