We have an attempt to the synthesis of benzimidazoles by treatment of phenylenediamine with boric acid in water at 120°C in the presence of nanocatalyst, Fe2O3 (5 mol%). Initially, we studied the structure and morphology of as prepared nanocatalyst using XRD, FTIR and SEM. Further, the synthesis of benzimidazoles and their derivatives using Fe2O3.
Fe2O3, hydrothermal, nanoflakes and benzimidazoles
