2-Methylbenzimidazole as a starting material has been prepared by refluxing o-phenylenediamine with glacial acetic acid in hydrochloric acid for 6 hours according to the Phillps Method. 2-Styrylbenzimidazole derivatives have been synthesized by refluxing with 2-methylbenzimidazole and p-substituted arylaldehydes in acetic anhydride for 30 hours. Antimicrobial activities of the synthesized compounds have been tested against yeast-like fungi such as Candida albicans, Candida stellatoidea, Candida parapsilosis, Candida pseudotropicalis and Gram (+) microorganisms such as Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus subtilis and Gram (-) microorganisms such as Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa.
