Benzimidazole, 99%, Thermo Scientific Chemicals

Description

Benzimidazole is a building block for making anthelmintic drugs like albendazole, mebendazole and triclabendazole and anti-ulcer drugs like pantoprazole, rabeprazole, lansoprazole and omeprazole. It is used in the preparation of pyrene derived benzimidazole linked polymers (BILPs), which are used for selective carbon dioxide separation applications due to their properties like porous materials, regenerability and sorbent selection parameters.

This Thermo Scientific Chemicals brand product was originally part of the Alfa Aesar product portfolio. Some documentation and label information may refer to the legacy brand.
