It appeared that 2-aminomethylbenziminazole (I) might prove worthy of investigation as a base for study of coordination problems, because the imino H of the benziminazole nucleus can be replaced by metals (cf. Bamberger and Lorenzen, Ann. 273, 271-9(1893)). Stable metallic complex compounds in which a central bivalent metallic element is bound to 2-aminomethylbenziminazole nucleii by 2 electrovalences and 2 coördination covalences should thus be obtainable. Synthesis of I was not easy; glycine could not be made to condense with o-(NH2)2C6H4 (II) according to the method of M. A. Phillips (cf. C. A. 23, 141). A method of preparation of I was therefore developed from 2-chloromethylbenziminazole (III), m. 160-1°, which was prepared in the following manner: 22 g. II and 20 g. ClCH2CO2H in 200 cc. 4 N HCl were refluxed for 40 min., and after filtering and cooling, the solution was neutralized with Na2CO3, giving a white solid which was recrystallized from EtOH and AcOEt. A better method for preparing III consisted in treating 2-hydroxymethylbenziminazole (IV) (Phillips, loc. cit.) with SOCl2; yield, 71%. Various attempts to replace the Cl atom in III with an NH2 group by means of NH3 solutions were unsuccessful, the reaction being quite complex and yielding several substances. From III, the following benziminazole derivatives were prepd: from Me anthranilate, 2-o-carbomethoxyanilinomethyl, yellow, m. 216°; from PhNHMe, 2-methylanilinomethyl, yellow, m. 202°; from Ph2NH, 2-diphenylaminomethyl, colorless, m. 215°; from (CH2)5NH, 2-piperidinomethyl, colorless, m. 193-4° (with previous softening at 180°); from morpholine, 2-morpholinomethyl, colorless, m. 211°; with C5H5N, III reacted violently giving a white solid which is probably a quaternary salt. IV and Me2SO4 gave 1-methyl-2-hydroxymethylbenziminazole, m. 105°, which with SOCl2 yielded 1-methyl-2-chloromethylbenziminazole, m. 94°; the latter with PhNH2 and PhNHMe gave 1-methyl-2-anilino-, m. 118°, and 1-methyl-2-methylanilinomethylbenziminazole, m. 145°, resp. Fusion of phenylglycine (3 g.) with II (2 g.) yielded 2-anilinomethylbenziminazole, m. 162°, which could not be prepared from III and PhNH2. Fusion of phthalimidoacetic acid with II gave a white amorphous product containing no O and whose structure is not known. Fusion of equimol. quantities of hippuric acid and II gave 70% 2-benzoylaminomethylbenziminazole, m. 231°, which (33 g.) was hydrolyzed with concentrated HCl (75 cc.) for 5 h. to the di-HCl salt of I as a monohydrate which loses H2O at 110°, giving an anhydrous salt, m. 263°. Attempts to isolate anhydrous I gave only brown gums; however, careful neutralization with Na2CO3 gave a hydrate, m. 53°; 2-acetylamino derivative, m. 200°. Condensation of HSCH2CO2H and II (50 g.) in 500 cc. 4 N HCl with heating for 60 min. gave 50 g. 2-sulfhydrylmethylbenziminazole (V), m. 158°; passage of air through an NH3 solution of the latter is sufficient to oxidize it to a compound, C16H14O2N4S2, m. 182°, which is probably the disulfoxide of V and which was also obtained by oxidation of V with dilute HNO3. The following benziminazole derivatives were obtained from II, using Phillips’ method: from phenoxyacetic acid, 2-phenoxymethyl, white, m. 162°; from methoxyacetic acid, 2-methoxymethyl, yellow, m. 136°; from phenylacetic acid, 2-benzyl, colorless, m. 187°; from β-phenylpropionic acid, 2-β-phenylethyl, colorless, m. 186°; from p-nitrophenylacetic acid, 2-p-nitrobenzyl, yellow, m. 215°; from o-nitrophenylacetic acid, 2-o-nitrobenzyl, yellow, m. 217°; from p-aminophenylacetic acid, 2-p-aminobenzyl, yellow, m. 213°.
