2-Arylbenzimidazoles have been synthesized from aromatic carboxylic acid and o-phenylenediamine under microwave irradiation (MW) and solvent-free conditions with catalytic amounts of acid in ambient pressure. This procedure constitutes a simple and practical green synthetic method for benzimidazoles and their structural analogs.
