 |  | [Uses] 
 5-Methylbenzimidazole is used as a camphor substitute. It is also used as fine chemical and medicine intermediate.
 |  | [Definition] 
 ChEBI: 5-methyl-1H-benzimidazole is a member of the class of imidazoles that is 1H-benzimidazole in which the hydrogen at position 5 is substituted by a methyl group. It derives from a hydride of a 1H-benzimidazole.
 |  | [General Description] 
 
 The FT-IR and FT-Raman spectra of 5-methylbenzimidazole was investigated by density functional theory. |
