Specific C-H...N intramolecular interaction in 1-vinyl-2-cyanoethylthiobenzimidazole with the formation of a nine-membered intramolecular ring,according to1H and13C NMR data

In the¹H NMR spectrum of 1-vinyl-2-cyanoethylthiobenzimidazole, an abnormal downfield shift has been found in the signal of the -hydrogen atom of the vinyl group, and also an increase in the corresponding direct¹³C-¹H spin-spin coupling constant, in comparison with other 2-substituted benzimidazoles. This indicates a specific C-H...N intramolecular interaction in this molecule between the -hydrogen atom and the cyano nitrogen atom, forming a nine-membered intramolecular ring.Translated from Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR No. 10, pp. 2285–2288, October, 1991.
