dimer and C-H
interactions in 1-(2-bromo-4,5-dimethoxybenzyl)-2-butyl-4-chloro-1H-imidazole-5-carbaldehyde and 2-butyl-4-chloro-1-(6-methyl-1,3-benzodioxol-5-ylmethyl)-1H-imidazole-5-carbaldehydeAbstract: The structures of the title compounds, C17H20BrClN2O3, (I), and C17H19ClN2O3, (II), are stabilized by intramolecular C-H
O and C-H
interactions. The stability of the molecular packing in (I) and (II) arises from a diverse set of weak intermolecular C-H
O, C-H
and C-halogen
interactions. In the crystal structure of (I), molecules aggregate in dimeric subunits via C-Br
interactions. The dimers are interlinked by C-H
O hydrogen bonds. The halogens cluster together and form a channel along the b axis. In (II), the packing is mainly governed by intermolecular C-H
O and C-H
interactions.
Formula: C17H20BrClN2O3 and C17H19ClN2O3

If the supplementary material that you require is not shown in the list above, it may only be available in our hard-copy archive. However, our policy is to progressively digitize old hard-copy supplementary documents where possible.
Please help us to work towards this goal by completing the form below. This will register your wish to receive a supplementary document, which we shall scan to create a PDF and then make available via the web to you and to other requestors in the future.
