5-Nitro-1-n-octyl-1H-benzimidazol-2(3H)-one

Abstract

The benzimidazolone part of the mol­ecule of the title compound, C15H21N3O3, is almost planar (r.m.s. deviation = 0.007 Å) with its mean plane aligned at a dihedral angle of 10.4 (3)° with respect to the mean plane of the nitro substituent. In the crystal, two mol­ecules are disposed about a center of inversion, generating an N—H⋯O hydrogen-bonded cyclic dimer with R 2 2(8) graph-set motif.

2-(4-Nitrobenzylidene)malononitrile

“…The nitro group is close to being coplanar with the benzene ring (dihedral angle = 8.8 (3)°), which is consistent with previous studies (El Brahmi et al, 2011;Mehdi et al, 2010;Ouzidan et al, 2011;Raza et al, 2010). In addition, the benzylidenemalononitrile moiety is nearly planar with a maximum deviation of 0.129 (2))Å for atom N2 (Karthikeyan et al, 2011).…”

5-Chloro-1-nonyl-1H-benzimidazol-2(3H)-one

“…As a continuation of our research work devoted to the development of substituted benzimidazol-2-one derivatives (Ouzidan et al, 2011a(Ouzidan et al, , 2011b, we report the synthesis of a new benzimidazol-2-one derivative by action of nonyl bromide with 5-chloro-1,3-dihydrobenzimidazol-2-one. The reaction provided the title compound (Scheme 1).…”
