The title compound was synthesized as a byproduct in one-pot reaction from 2-(1H-benzimidazol-1-yl)-1-(furan-2-yl)ethanone (Özel Güven et al., 2007) (0.1 g, 0.44 mmol), hydroxylamine hydrogenchloride (0.037 g, 0.53 mmol), benzyl bromide (0.091 g, 0.53 mmol) and KOH (0.213 g, 3.8 mmol) in DMSO (0.53 ml) and water (0.22 ml). Reaction was completed in half an hour at room temperature by stirring. Then, ethyl acetate (3 ml) and brine (1 ml) were added and the reaction mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was washed with brine three times, dried, filtered and evaporated. The crude residue was purified by column chromatography and recrystallized from methanol to obtain pink crystals (yield; 28 mg, 20%).
H atoms were located in difference syntheses and refined isotropically [C—H = 0.88 (2)–0.93 (3) Å, Uiso(H) = 0.027 (4)–0.111 (10) Å2].
In recent years, the benzimidazole heterocyclic ring system has attracted considerable attention, due to its useful properties for the development of interesting new pharmaceutical compounds (Mann et al., 2001). Some of the substituted benzimidazole derivatives have antitumour, antiviral, antibacterial, anti-inflammatory (Roth et al., 1997; Evans et al., 1996; Chen et al., 1993) and therapeutic (Saito et al., 1993; Awouters et al., 1983; Brandstrom et al., 1985) activities. On the other hand, a series of benzimidazole derivatives are useful for central nervous system disorders (Preston, 1974). In literature, 2-(1H-imidazol-1-yl)-1,3-diphenylpropan-1-one and its derivatives have been reported that they show both high and selective thromboxane A2 receptor antagonist and thromboxane A2 synthase inhibitory activities (Cozzi et al., 1994). The structure determination of the title molecule, (I) was carried out in order to investigate the strength of the hydrogen bonding capability of the benzimidazole heterocyclic ring system.
In the molecule of the title compound (Fig. 1) the bond lengths and angles are generally within normal ranges (Allen et al., 1987). A (O1/C1—C4), B (C8—C13), C(N1/N2/C14/C15/C20) and D (C15—C20) rings are, of course, planar and the dihedral angles between the rings are A/B = 47.64 (11)° and C/D = 1.52 (8)°. Thus, the benzimidazole ring system E (N1/N2/C14—C20) is also planar and it is oriented with respect to rings A and B at dihedral angles of A/E = 87.41 (10)° and B/E = 61.65 (5)°.
In the crystal structure, intermolecular C—H···O and C—H···N hydrogen bonds (Table 1) link the molecules to form a network structure (Fig. 2), in which they seem to be effective in the stabilization of the structure.

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. |

In recent years, the benzimidazole heterocyclic ring system has attracted considerable attention, due to its useful properties for the development of interesting new pharmaceutical compounds (Mann et al., 2001). Some of the substituted benzimidazole derivatives have antitumour, antiviral, antibacterial, anti-inflammatory (Roth et al., 1997; Evans et al., 1996; Chen et al., 1993) and therapeutic (Saito et al., 1993; Awouters et al., 1983; Brandstrom et al., 1985) activities. On the other hand, a series of benzimidazole derivatives are useful for central nervous system disorders (Preston, 1974). In literature, 2-(1H-imidazol-1-yl)-1,3-diphenylpropan-1-one and its derivatives have been reported that they show both high and selective thromboxane A2 receptor antagonist and thromboxane A2 synthase inhibitory activities (Cozzi et al., 1994). The structure determination of the title molecule, (I) was carried out in order to investigate the strength of the hydrogen bonding capability of the benzimidazole heterocyclic ring system.
In the molecule of the title compound (Fig. 1) the bond lengths and angles are generally within normal ranges (Allen et al., 1987). A (O1/C1—C4), B (C8—C13), C(N1/N2/C14/C15/C20) and D (C15—C20) rings are, of course, planar and the dihedral angles between the rings are A/B = 47.64 (11)° and C/D = 1.52 (8)°. Thus, the benzimidazole ring system E (N1/N2/C14—C20) is also planar and it is oriented with respect to rings A and B at dihedral angles of A/E = 87.41 (10)° and B/E = 61.65 (5)°.
In the crystal structure, intermolecular C—H···O and C—H···N hydrogen bonds (Table 1) link the molecules to form a network structure (Fig. 2), in which they seem to be effective in the stabilization of the structure.
