Crystal Structure of Chlorinate （N,N-1,3-Dibenzyl-benzimidazole） Hydrate

1 INTRODUCTION Benzimidazole is an interesting heterocyclic ring because it is present in various naturally occurring drugs, such as omeprazole, astemizole and emedastine difumarate[1]. The efficacy of substituted benzimidazoles in the treatment of parasitic infections is well known[2～4], and the pharmacophores in parasitic chemotherapy are established by benzimidazole-substituted moieties. Bis(2-benzimidazoles) and some substituted bis- (benzimi-dazol-2-yl) alkanes have attracted much…

Crystal Structure of Chlorinate (N,N-1,3-Dibenzyl-benzimidazole) Hydrate

The structure of the title compound consisting of N,N-1,3-dibenzyl-benzimidazole ion, Cl- anion and hydrate was determined by X-ray diffraction method. It crystallizes in the triclinic system, space group P with a = 9.320(2), b = 9.850(2), c = 11.510(2) ? = 68.75(3), = 80.57(3), = 70.20(3)? C21H19ClN2H2O, Mr = 352.85, V = 925.6(3) 3, Z = 2, Dc = 1.266 g/cm3, F(000) = 372, = 0.217 mm-1, R = 0.0452 and wR = 0.1372. The total reflections were 3462 and 3244 (Rint = 0.0206) were independent, of which 1666 were observed with I > 2s(I). The planes of benzyl group are nearly perpendicular to each other. The water molecules with Cl-anions and C(8) atom are involved in hydrogen bonds and interactions, and - stacking interaction exists obviously between the adjacent phenyl and imidazole rings. The title complex forms a three-dimensional network throughout the structure through these hydrogen bonds and interactions.
