Ethyl 1-benzyl-2-(3-chlorophenyl)-1H-benzimidazole-5-carboxylate

Abstract

In the title compound, C23H19ClN2O2, the dihedral angles between the imidazole ring system and the chlorobenzene and phenyl rings are 48.05 (14) and 82.53 (15)°, respectively. In the crystal, inversion dimers linked by pairs of C—H...O hydrogen bonds generate R22(22) loops. Weak C—H...π and π–π stacking interactions are also observed.
