1-(1-Adamantylmeth-yl)-1H-benzimidazole
Abstract:
The asymmetric unit of the title compound, C(18)H(22)N(2), contains two independent mol-ecules which differ slightly with respect to the torsion angles involving the atoms joining the adamantyl and benzimidazole groups. The bond angles in the adamantane cage vary within the range 108.27 (9)-110.55 (10)°. The benzimidazole ring system in both mol-ecules is essentially planar, the maximum deviations from the best planes being 0.0134 (15) and 0.0229 (14) Å. In the crystal, weak C-H⋯π inter-actions link the molecules.

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...
