Ethyl 4-acetamido-3-thioureidobenzoate (5 mmol) and 2-bromo-1-phenyl-ethanone (5 mmol) were dissolved in 50 ml acetone, then the solution was refluxed, the course of the reaction was followed by thin-layer chromatography. After the reaction had finished (about 40 min), the mixture was cooled to room temperature and filtered, the white solid was obtained. The solid product was dissolved in 10 ml e thanol, drop ammonia till pH = 9, a yellow precipitate appeared, which was filtered off and dried to obtain the title compound. Crystals suitable for X-ray crystallographic analysis were obtained by slow evaporation of an ethanol solution at room temperature.
Methyl H atoms were placed in calculated positions with C—H = 0.98 Å and torsion angles were refined, with Uiso(H) = 1.5Ueq(C). Other H atoms were placed in geometrically idealized positions and refined as riding, with C—H = 0.99 (methylene) and 0.95 Å (aromatic), Uiso(H)= 1.2Ueq(C).
Heterocyclic compounds containing thiazole ring and benzimidazole rings generally exhibit broad-spectrum biological activity. They were ususlly studied for their antitumor, antiviral and antimicrobial activities (Turan-Zitouni et al., 2003). We report here the synthesis and structure of the title benzimidazole thiazole derivative(I).
The molecular structure of the title compound is illustrated in Fig. 1. The molecule contains four aromatic rings. The large steric effect of the thiazole substituents results in benzyl ring and imidazole ring in the benzimidazole rings being non-coplanar with dihedral angles of 1.24 (8)°. The dihedral angle between the thiazole ring and the least-squares planes of the benzene ring (C15—C20) is 3.62 (5)°. The molecules were associated via C—H···O hydrogen bonds (Table 1) and the crystal structure is further stabilized by van der Waals forces. Adjacent benzene units in the benzimidazole rings are exactly parallel and the centroid–centroid distances is 3.804 Å.

Geometry. All e.s.d.'s (except the e.s.d. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of e.s.d.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between e.s.d.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell e.s.d.'s is used for estimating e.s.d.'s involving l.s. planes. |
Refinement. Refinement of F2 against ALL reflections. The weighted R-factor wR and goodness of fit S are based on F2, conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F2. The threshold expression of F2 > σ(F2) is used only for calculating R-factors(gt) etc. and is not relevant to the choice of reflections for refinement. R-factors based on F2 are statistically about twice as large as those based on F, and R- factors based on ALL data will be even larger. |

Heterocyclic compounds containing thiazole ring and benzimidazole rings generally exhibit broad-spectrum biological activity. They were ususlly studied for their antitumor, antiviral and antimicrobial activities (Turan-Zitouni et al., 2003). We report here the synthesis and structure of the title benzimidazole thiazole derivative(I).
The molecular structure of the title compound is illustrated in Fig. 1. The molecule contains four aromatic rings. The large steric effect of the thiazole substituents results in benzyl ring and imidazole ring in the benzimidazole rings being non-coplanar with dihedral angles of 1.24 (8)°. The dihedral angle between the thiazole ring and the least-squares planes of the benzene ring (C15—C20) is 3.62 (5)°. The molecules were associated via C—H···O hydrogen bonds (Table 1) and the crystal structure is further stabilized by van der Waals forces. Adjacent benzene units in the benzimidazole rings are exactly parallel and the centroid–centroid distances is 3.804 Å.
