A simple, environmentally friendly procedure for the synthesis of 2-substituted benzimidazoles by the one-pot condensation of o-phenylenediamines with aromatic aldehydes using continuous bubbling of air in absolute ethanol at room temperature is described. The simplicity of the system, mild conditions, involvement of a non-toxic and practically inexhaustible oxidant, easy and quick isolation of the products, and moderate to good yields are the main advantages of this procedure.
