Palladium N-Heterocyclic Carbene Complexes: Synthesis from Benzimidazolium Salts and Catalytic Activity in Carbon-carbon Bond-forming Reactions
Published on: July 30, 2017
(R)-(+)-2-{[(3-Methyl-4-nitro-pyridin-2-yl)meth-yl]sulfin-yl}-1H-benzimidazole
Abstract:
The title compound, C(14)H(12)N(4)O(3)S, is an inter-mediate of Dexlansoprazole, a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) mainly developed for anti-ulcer activity. The absolute configuration of the title compound was determined as R. The crystal structure reveals that the mol-ecules form chains along the b axis through N-H⋯N and C-H⋯O hydrogen-bonded dimers. These chains are connected via weak C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds.

Nomenclature of Aromatic Compounds with Multiple Substituents
For disubstituted benzene derivatives, with two groups attached to the benzene ring, three constitutional isomers are possible. For example, consider dimethyl benzene, often called xylene, where the second methyl group can be substituted at the second, third, or fourth carbon. The relative position of the substituents is represented by prefixes ortho, meta, or...
