Cadmium chloride (CdCl2): a mild and efficient catalyst for the synthesis of benzimidazoles

One-pot synthesis of benzimidazoles has been carried out using ortho-phenylenediamine and aldehydes. The condensation reaction smoothly took place in the presence of a mild Lewis acid cadmium chloride. All the reactions were carried out in acetonitrile at 80°C to 85°C.
