A mild and effective protocol for benzimidazolesynthesis from o-phenylenediamine and aromatic aldehydes catalysed by DBU is described. The synthesized compounds find application in the pharmaceutical, dye and material science fields. Mild reaction conditions, low amount of chemicals and use of metal-free catalysts are the highlights of the reaction.
