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.

In the present study, surface-enhanced Raman spectra of a bifunctional Raman reporter, 2-mercaptobenzimidazole, has been found to be responsive exclusively towards Cu(2+) ions while the reporter remains anchored on the Au nanoparticle surface. Thus a specific Cu(2+)-ion-detection protocol emerges. The

Determination of the true surface areas, concentrations, and particle sizes of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) is a challenging issue due to the nanoparticle morphological irregularity, surface roughness, and size distributions. A ligand adsorption-based technique for determining AuNP surface areas in solution

Although many hypo-pigmenting agents are currently available, the demand for novel whitening agents is increasing, in part due to the weak effectiveness and unwanted side effects of currently available compounds. To screen for novel hypo-pigmenting agents, many methodologies such as
