A solid phase strategy for the synthesis of substituted 2-arylbenzimidazoles oversilicagel has been achieved starting from their corresponding o-phenylenediamines 1 and aromatic aldehydes 2. The reaction is very simple, convenient and straightforward, and the products are obtained in moderate to high yields (49–91%).

Arylbenzimidazoles have been synthesized as antimycobacterial agents. An efficient synthesis has been developed for 2-arylbenzimidazoles from o-phenylenediamines and aromatic aldehydes in molecular sieves-methanol system. The methodology is straightforward to get 2-arylbenzimidazoles (3a-3z) in excellent yields with high chemoselectivity over 2-aryl-1-benzylbenzimidazoles (4a-4z). All these benzimidazole analogues were evaluated against M. tuberculosis in BACTEC radiometric assay. The compounds 4y and 4z exhibited potential antitubercular activity against M. tuberculosis H (37)Rv, MIC at 16 mu M and 24 mu M respectively. The best compound of the series i.e. compound 4y was well tolerated by Swiss-albino mice in acute oral toxicity. Compound 4y possessing a diarylbenzimidazole core, can further be optimized for better activity.
