Products Description of 2-Mercapto-5-Methoxybenzimidazole CAS#37052-78-1
2-Mercapto-5-methoxybenzimidazole appears as light beige solid powder at ambient temperature and pressure. It cannot dissolve in water and low-polarity organic solvents, yet dissolves freely in highly polar organic media. As an intermediate for organic synthesis and medicinal chemistry, it has wide-ranging uses within pharmaceutical production. It also acts as an essential synthetic precursor for APIs including omeprazole.
