Abstract
Abstract The photolysis of 2-(2-furyl)benzimidazole (Fuberidazole) 1 in methanol in presence and in absence of singlet oxygen has been studied. Methyl γ-oxo-2-benzimidazole-crotonate 4, methyl benzimidazole-2-carboxylate 5, and benzimidazole 6 could be isolated and identified in both reactions. A mechanism for formation of compound 4 is presented.
