2-benzimidazolethiol
Sign in to saveAlso known as mercaptobenzimidazole, 2-mercaptobenzimidazole, 1,3-dihydrobenzimidazole-2-thione
Mercaptobenzimidazole is the organosulfur compound with the formula C6H4(NH)2C=S. It is the mercaptan of benzimidazole. It is a white solid that has been investigated as a corrosion inhibitor. The name is a misnomer because the compound is a thiourea, characterized with a short C=S bond length of 169 pm. A similar situation applies to 2-mercaptoimidazole, which is also a thiourea properly called 2-imidazolidinethione and mercaptobenzothiazole, which is also a thioamide.
