In the cation of the title compound, C(7)H(7)N(4)O(2) (+)·Cl(-), the benzimidazole ring system is planar with a maximum deviation of -0.019 (3) Å. In the crystal structure, C-H⋯Cl, N-H⋯Cl, and N-H⋯Cl inter-actions link the mol-ecules into a two-dimensional network. π-π contacts between benzimidazole rings [centroid-centroid distances = 3.928 (1) and 3.587 (1) Å] may further stabilize the struct...

The asymmetric unit of the title compound, C(27)H(36)N(4), contains two independent mol-ecules. Except for the atoms of the decyl chain, the non-H atoms of each mol-ecule are approximately coplanar (r.m.s. deviations = 0.075 and 0.164 Å) and the -CH(2)CH(2)CH(2)- link connecting the two benzimidazolyl fused-ring systems is slightly opened up at the middle C atom. The decyl substituent adopts an...

The title mononuclear complex, [Ni(C(7)H(3)NO(4))(C(9)H(10)N(2))(3)], shows a central Ni(II) atom which is coordinated by two carboxyl-ate O atoms and the N atom from a pyridine-2,6-dicarboxyl-ate ligand and by three N atoms from different 5,6-dimethyl-1H--benzimidazole ligands in a distorted octa-hedral geometry. The crystal structure shows intermolecular N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds.

In the title compound, C(32)H(36)N(4) (2+)·2PF(6) (-), the cation and the anions each have crystallographic twofold rotation symmetry. The benzimidazole ring is almost planar [r.m.s. deviation = 0.0161 (1) Å] and makes a dihedral angle of 5.77 (4)° with its symmetry-related component and a dihedral angle of 80.96 (5)° with the central benzene ring. The cyclo-pentyl ring adopts a half-chair conf...

The title compound, C(15)H(12)N(2)OS, adopts a twisted V-shape, with the S atom as the pivot. The benzimidazole ring system [maximum deviation = 0.015 (1) Å] makes a dihedral angle of 78.56 (7)° with the phenyl ring. The O atom of the ketone group is close to coplanar with its adjacent ring [O-C-C-C torsion angle = 11.0 (2)°]. In the crystal, mol-ecules are linked by N-H⋯N hydrogen bonds into a...

The synthesis and the evaluation as organocatalysts of new chiral guanidines derived from benzimidazoles in the enantioselective α-amination of 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds using di-t-butylazodicarboxylate as aminating agent is herein disclosed. The catalysts are readily synthesized through the reaction of 2-chlorobezimidazole and a chiral amine in moderate-to-good yields. Among all of them, those ...

In this study, the Cu(OAc)2- and [PdCl2(PhCN)2]-catalyzed syntheses of benzimidazoles from amidines were theoretically investigated using density functional theory calculations. For the Cu-catalyzed system, our calculations supported a four-step-pathway involving C-H activation of an arene with Cu(II) via concerted metalation-deprotonation (CMD), followed by oxidation of the Cu(II) intermediate...

The asymmetric unit of the title compound, C(16)H(23)ClN(2)O, comtains two independent mol-ecules in which the fused-ring systems are essentially planar, the largest deviation from the mean plane of each mol-ecule being 0.011 (2) Å and 0.016 (2) Å. The benzimidazole rings of the two mol-ecules make a dihedral angle of 66.65 (7)°. The nonyl substituents are almost perpendicular to the benzimidaz...

In the title compound, C(15)H(12)N(4)S, the benzimidazole ring is essentially planar, with a mean deviation of 0.0082 (1) Å from the least-squares plane defined by the nine constituent atoms. In the crystal, inversion dimers linked by pairs of C-H⋯N hydrogen bonds occur.

The title compound, [Ni(C(14)H(10)N(4))(3)](4)(PO(4))(2)(SO(4)), consists of [Ni(C(14)H(10)N(4))(3)](2+) complex cations (.3. symmetry) and disordered anions ( symmetry) with occupancy factors of two-thirds for PO(4) (3-) and one-third for SO(4) (2-). The Ni(2+) centre is chelated by three bidentate 2,2'-bi-1H-benzimidazole mol-ecules in a distorted octa-hedral coordination. N-H⋯O hydrogen bond...
