General description

2-Mercaptobenzimidazole is a good corrosion inhibitor as it reduces the corrosion rate of metals.

Application

2-Mercaptobenzimidazole can be used:
  • To prepare 2-benzimidazolylthioacetophenones by reacting with aromatic ketones, which is a key intermediate for the synthesis of thiazolo[3,2-a]benzimidazoles.
  • To synthesize S-arylated 2-mercapto-benzimidazoles via S-arylation with substituted aryl iodides using CuI and 1,10-phenanthroline.

The effect of several structurally different benzimidazole compounds on CYP1A1 expression at the transcriptional, mRNA and protein levels was investigated in the rat hepatoma H4IIE cell line. Omeprazole, thiabendazole, carbendazim, 2-mercaptobenzimidazole and 2-mercapto-5-methoxybenzimidazole caused a dose-dependent increase in CYP1A1 protein

Two multivariate calibration methods, partial least squares (PLS) and principal component regression (PCR), were applied to the spectrophotometric simultaneous determination of 2-mercaptobenzimidazole (MB) and 2-thiouracil (TU). A genetic algorithm (GA) using partial least squares was successfully utilized as a variable
