2-Trifluoromethylbenzimidazoles: A New Class of Herbicidal Compounds

Polychloroheteroaromatic Compounds

“…Uncouplers of oxidative phosphorylation are generally associated with a broad spectrum of biocidal activity. This is certainly true of the polychloro-2-trifluoromethylbenzimidazoles [107,727,729,734,737,738,[753][754][755][756][757][758]. Derivatives of these compounds with substituents (alkyl [753,759,760], C0 2 R [733,753,[761][762][763][764][765], S02R [766,767], CONHR [768], CSNR 2 [769], OR [769a]) on the ring nitrogen atom or with substituents (alkyl [770], aryl [771], C2 F 5 [753, 754, 756, 769a] , CF 2 Cl [772], CC13 [770,773], SH [770], SMe [770], S02Me [770], C0 2 Et [770]) other than a trifluoromethyl group in the 2-position are also of interest in this respect.…”

Synthesis, in‐vitro Microbial and Cytotoxic Studies of New Benzimidazole Derivatives

“…Substituted 2-(trifluoromethyl)-1H-benzimidazoles are known as an important class of compounds due to their wide range of biological activity acting as antiviral, antifungal, antibacterial, and anticancer drugs [1 -4]. These compounds also inhibit photosynthesis and, therefore, exhibit appreciable herbicidal activity [5]. Most recently, antiparasitic activities of this class of compounds have been reported [6,7].…”

“…Moreover, benzimidazole nucleus has been found to be associated with various drugs applicable to different disease states as potent antihypertensive, antihistaminic, anticancerous, antiinflammatory, as gastric ulcer inhibitors, and for the treatment of cardiovascular diseases [11][12][13][14][15][16].…”
