Abstract: A benzimidazole compound and a preparation method thereof. Various substituted benzimidazoles are synthesized by a SN2 reaction and a cyclization reaction. Namely, o-fluorinated aryl-N,N-dimethyl-formamidine and primary amine are subjected to an cyclization by a one-pot reaction, wherein a fluorine atom is substituted by an amino, and then dimethylamine is eliminated, thus forming the product. The method does not require the use of any metal catalyst and/or any toxic reagent, and has a specific selectivity. No isomer exists in the reaction product.
