Abstract:
A process for the preparation of 2-benzimidazole-carbamic acid alkyl and benzyl esters or the salts thereof, which comprises converting 2-amino-benzimidazoles with bases to their alkali metal or alkaline earth metal salts reacting these compounds with carbonic acid dialkyl or dibenzyl esters with exclusion of water, and optionally converting the 2-benzimidazole carbamate salts obtained to the free 2-benzimidazole-carbamic acid esters by acidification.
Abstract:
Substituted benzimidazoles of the formula
IN WHICH R1 is alkyl, X is oxygen or sulfur, R2 is haloalkyl or haloalkenyl and R3, R4 and R5 each are hydrogen, halogen or alkyl, are valuable as systemic fungicides and as anthelmintic agents.
