4-(1-Ethyl-1H-1,3-benzimidazol-2-yl)-N,N-diphenylaniline monohydrate

Abstract

In the title compound, C27H23N3O·H2O, the benzimidazole ring system has an r.m.s. deviation of 0.0071 Å and makes dihedral angles of 34.51 (2), 55.22 (3) and 41.05 (5)° with the central and N-bonded phenyl rings, respectively. In the crystal, the water molecular is connected to the organic molecule by intermolecular O—H...N hydrogen bonds. Weak intermolecular C—H...O hydrogen bonds also occur.
