Ethyl 1-(butan-2-yl)-2-(2-meth-oxy-phen-yl)-1H-benzimidazole-5-carboxyl-ate
Abstract:
In the title compound, C(21)H(24)N(2)O(3), the mean planes of the benzene ring and the benzimidazole ring system form a dihedral angle of 69.94 (7)°. The ethyl group atoms of the ethano-ate fragment are disordered over two sets of sites, with refined occupancies of 0.742 (6) and 0.258 (6). In the crystal, there are weak C-H⋯N hydrogen bonds which connect mol-ecules into chains along the b axis. A weak inter-molecular C-H⋯π inter-action is also observed.

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...
