When the imine-amine compound, bis[(2-benzylideneimino)phenyl]amine [1], is heated in presence of a transition metal salt (for example FeCl₃), a reaction occur leading to a new compound. After separation and characterization, we find it is a benzimidazole derivative, with a structure pattern frequently appearing in pharmaceutical molecules [1]. 0.5g red crystal of bis[(2-benzylideneimino)phenyl]amine is heated in ethanol for 30 minutes and changed into colorless. After cooling, 0.45g (90%) of white crystal product is collected by filtration.

M. p. 235 °C (ethanol).
