In the present work, we report an efficient route for the synthesis of benzimidazole derivatives by the reaction of aromatic aldehydes and o-phenylenediamine at room temperature by using pomegranate peel powder (PGP) as a natural catalyst. The present method represents a green and valuable addition to the existing methods for the synthesis of benzimidazoles.
