CCDC no.: 1545951The crystal structure is shown in the figure. Tables 1 and 2 contain details on crystal structure and measurement conditions and a list of the atoms including atomic coordinates and displacement parameters.
Source of materialReagents and solvents were of commercially available quality. Firstly, 2-(2′-hydroxy-5′-methoxyphenyl)-1H-benzimidazole was prepared according to the literature [4,5], and was processed by recrystallization from anhydrous ethanol twice. Secondly, the obtained compound (0.96 g, 4.0 mmol) was dissolved in 40 mL tetrahydrofuran (THF) under stirring, 10 mL of B(OH) 3 (0.12 g, 2.0 mmol) solution in THF was added dropwise, and then refluxed for three hours. The solution was concentrated to 15 ml and filtered, the crude product was purified with ethanol by recrystallization to yield ca. 70%.
Experimental detailsThe tetrahydrofuran is disordered over two positions, which is treated as two parts with occupancy factors of 0.443 : 0.557.
