A new series of benzimidazole containing Schiff base moiety has been synthesized. The reaction was achieved through cyclocondensation reaction of the substituted 1,2-phenylenediamines and amino acids (glycine, alanine and tyrosine) to gave substituted benzimidazole derivatives 1(a-f). Asian Journal of Chemistry; Vol. 30, No. 2 (2018), 381-385 EXPERIMENTALMelting points were taken in an electrically heated using Stuart SMP3 instrument and are uncorrected. FT-IR spectra were recorded on Shimadzu (FTIR-8400 S) Infrared spectrophotometer by KBr disc. The
