What is 5-(Difluoromethoxy)-2-mercapto-1H-benzimidazole?
Description
5-(Difluoromethoxy)-2-mercapto-1H-benzimidazole is a thiol derivative of benzimidazole with a group substituted at the 5-position by difluoromethoxy. 5-(Difluoromethoxy)-2-mercapto-1H-benzimidazole is one of the main intermediates of pantoprazole, a proton pump inhibitor for the treatment of gastric ulcers. Pantoprazole acts by reducing gastric acid secretion and inactivating H+-ATPase in the stomach. The synthesis of pantoprazole begins with the coupling of 5-difluoromethoxy-2-mercaptobenzimidazole with 2-chloromethyl-3,4-dimethoxypyridinium hydrochloride followed by an oxidation reaction.
