Abstract
Background: The use of microwave irradiation is an important development for the synthesis of benzimidazoles in the 21st century, and in recent years, microwave-assisted heterocyclic synthesis has gained significant attention in modern drug discovery studies. Benzimidazoles are an important group in the field of medicinal chemistry because of a wide range of biological activities. This review article provides a collection of studies on the synthesis of benzimidazole derivatives by microwave techniques over a twenty-one years period for an alternative to conventional heating.
