Abstract
Benzimidazoles, benzothiazoles and benzooxazoles are privileged structural units not only in the pharmaceutical industry but also in several other fields such as agricultural, electronic, and polymer chemistry. This ring system is present in numerous antioxidant, antiparasitic, antihelmintics, antiproliferative, anti-HIV, anticonvulsant, anti-inflammatory, antihypertensive, antineoplastic and antitrichinellosis activities. Owing to the immense importance of benzimidazoles, efforts have been made from time to time to generate various derivatives of these compounds. These methods have been well described in this Chapter.
