The presence of specific functional group were analysed by IR spectroscopy. The determination of structure for the synthesized compounds by NMR and Mass spectroscopy is in progress. All the synthesized compounds showed significant anthelmintic activity. %K Benzimidazole %K Anthelminitic %K o-Phenylenediamine %U http://www.hygeiajournal.com/Abstract.aspx?did=47
