The electrode was topographically and electrochemically characterized to validate its surface modification and functional suitability. This energy efficient electrocatalyst (CFP-TAA-TACoPc) was explored, for the sustainable synthesis of 2-(pyridin-4-yl)-1 H -benzo[ d ]imidazole at 1.35 V, with 87.6 1.267 % product yield at ambient conditions. o -phenylenediamine and pyridine-4-carboxaldehyde were used as starting materials, with ethanol as solvent, and lithium perchlorate as supporting electrolyte, using a three-electrode system, in a single compartment cell. The benzimidazole derivative was observed to crystallize out after completion of the reaction, negating the need for any further purification and was characterized using 1HNMR and GCMS. This work highlights the potential of electrochemical strategies as a sustainable and efficient alternative to conventional methods for heterocyclic synthesis. 2026 Elsevier B.V.
