The reaction of 2-methylbenzimidazole with benzoyl chloride in the presence of triethylamine leads to the formation of N-, C-, and O-polybenzoylation products.C-Dibenzoylation takes place at elevated temperatures and is facilitated by the addition of benzoic acid or small amounts of water, which promote the formation of benzoic acid, to the reaction mixture after the C-monobenzoylation stage.
