Presence of benzimidazole nucleus in numerous categories of therapeutic agents such as antimicrobials, antivirals, antiparasites, anticancer, anti-inflammatory, antioxidants, proton pump inhibitors, antihypertensives, anticoagulants, immunomodulators, hormone modulators, CNS stimulants as well as depressants, lipid level modulators, antidiabetics, etc. has made it an indispensable anchor for development of new therapeutic agents. This review is summarized to know about the chemistry of benzimidazole and their derivatives of substituted benzimidazole along with their physical and chemical properties. We demonstrate the change in properties of benzimidazole with change in their structure, their isomers, uses and their pharmacological activity.

Isomerism Tautomerism N NH Tautomerism is a cyclic analogous to that found in Imidazoles and Amidines, the two Nitrogens present in the Imidazole ring are different from one another in their NH N nature and this makes the properties of the ring system Acidic Basic diverse in character. The Nitrogen bearing Hydrogen atom is sp2 in character and is often referred as Pyrole Benzimidazole structure with its tautomer. 2 Nitrogen and the other is sp in character and is often referred as Pyridine Nitrogen. Our target molecules were based on benzimidazole derivatives. It is possible to design a wide range of Benzimidazole possesses each acidic also as basic potential microbial inhibitors by replacing the hydrogen nature. The NH cluster present in benzimidazole is at various positions of the benzimidazole ring with relatively powerful acidic and frail basic extra different functional groups. However, the most characteristic of benzimidazole is that they need the accessible derivatives are those with substituents at the capability to make salts. Benzimidazoles with 1-, 2- and 5-positions. Retro synthesis analysis of a 2,5- unsubstituted NH teams show quick prototropic disubstituted benzimidazole identified two fragments, tautomerism that ends up in balance mixtures of which explain why these particular substitute asymmetrically substituted compounds. Benzimidazole benzimidazoles are easy to prepare. that embrace an atom connected to the Nitrogen in the 1- position promptly tautomerize this could be delineating 5-Position N as follows.[9,11,12] 2-Position NH 1-Position Volume 5, Issue 3. 2021 │ ISO 9001:2015 Certified Journal │ 168 Rohit et al.

Benzimidazole. When 5- group attached to the Nitrogen in the 1-position is other than Hydrogen, such tautomerism is prevented and only isomeric forms exist. Thus, 1,5-dimethylbenzimidazole and 1,6- dimethylbenzimidazole exist as distinct, isomeric compounds.
