Benzimidazole

Benzimidazole (CAS 51-17-2), also known as 1,3-Benzodiazole, is a bicyclic heterocyclic compound used in pharmaceutical synthesis, agrochemical manufacturing, and industrial preservation.

Where is Benzimidazole used?

• Pharmaceutical manufacturing: core scaffold
• Synthesis of antiparasitic, antifungal, and proton pump inhibitor drug intermediates
• Agrochemical production: precursor in the synthesis of fungicides and pesticides
• Water treatment: biocide formulations controlling microbial growth in industrial cooling systems and process water
• Biotechnology and research: ligands in catalytic systems and reference compounds in assay development and specialized chemical analysis
• It functions as a building block for active ingredients and as a ligand or catalyst precursor in chemical production processes.

Commercial specifications

• Technical grade for industrial synthesis; higher-purity grades for pharmaceutical intermediate specifications
• Packaging from kilogram quantities up to bulk drum supply
