Hypothesis

The study aims to synthesize a new benzimidazol-2-one derivative using benzyl chloride and 1H-benzimidazol-2-one.

Conclusion

The synthesized compound features a planar structure with specific dihedral angles and forms inversion dimers through hydrogen bonding.

Supporting Evidence

  • The compound was synthesized under mild conditions.
  • The maximum deviation from the mean plane of the rings is very small.
  • The dihedral angle between the benzimidazole and phenyl ring is specified.

Takeaway

The researchers made a new chemical compound that could be useful in medicine by combining two specific chemicals together.

Methodology

The synthesis involved reacting 1H-benzimidazol-2-one with benzyl chloride in the presence of potassium carbonate and tetra-n-butylammonium bromide.
