Abstract:
The title compound, C(22)H(17)N(3)O(4), was prepared through 1,3-dipolar cyclo-addition: the dihedral angle between the benzimidazole and benzene rings is 80.93 (6)°. The crystal structure is stabilized by weak π-π inter-actions between the planar pyrrolobenzimidazole rings (r.m.s. deviation = 0.0293 Å) of neighbouring mol-ecules, forming chains along the c axis. The perpendicular distance is 3.47 (2) Å and the centroid-centroid distances are in the range of 3.590 (3)-3.944 (3) Å.

Conjugate Addition (1,4-Addition) vs Direct Addition (1,2-Addition)
Conjugate addition results in a thermodynamically stable product. The reaction retains the stronger C=O bond at the expense of the weaker C=C π bond. The process is slow as the β carbon is less electrophilic than the carbonyl carbon.
