Benzimidazoles Classics and Advances

Benzimidazole is a heterocyclic compound formed from benzene and imidazole ring containing nitrogen, oxygen and sulphur. Its derivatives are remarkably effective compounds and of wide interest because of their diverse industrial, biological and clinical applications.This book is a comprehensive survey of this vast field, which is prominently in both synthetic and mechanistic organic chemistry. The focus of this book centers on the utility of benzimidazoles in organic synthesis, dealing primarily with information that has appeared in the literature since 1872. The discussion is supported by numerous lucid extensive reaction schemes and relevant up-to-date references. Synthetic aspects, reactivity as well as modern applications of many benzimidazole compounds in the chemical and pharmaceutical industries are also described from the era of 1800s up-to-date.
