Abstract: Condensation of o -phenylenediamine with lactic acid under Phillips '  conditions gave the known 2- (-hydroxyethyl)benzimidazole 1 which on oxidation with acid dichromate furnishes 2-acetylbenzimidazole 2. Reaction of 2 with bromine in acetic acid at room temp. give a novel product 3 but not the expected 2-(-bromoacetyl benzimidazole 4. Rational explanation is offered for this anamolous behaviour of 2. Compound 2 on alkylation, give 1-alkyl derivatives which undergo smooth bromination with bromine in acetic acid to give the correspondig 1-alkyl-2- (-bromoacetyl) benzimidazoles. Reactions of latter with sulphur nucleophiles such as PhS-, ArSO2- etc. , resulting in substitution of bromine, leading to novel -β ketosulphone derivatives of benzimidazoles, are reported. Products have been characterised by IR , NMR (1H and 13C) and mass spectral data.
