In the title compound, C30H26N4O, the dihedral angle between the two benzimidazole rings is 69.35 (9)°. The dihedral angles between the benzimidazole ring system and the phenyl ring are 76.79 (12) and 86.10 (11)° in the two benzylbenzimidazole moieties.
A solution of 5.56 (20 mmol) of 1,3-bis(benzimidazol-2-yl)-2-oxopropane with 1.56 g (40 mmol) potassium in 150 ml tetrahydrofuran followed by addition of 5.06 g (40 mmol) benzyl bromide was concentrated and recrystallized from methanol, formimg white block crystals suitable for X-ray diffraction studies. (found: C, 78.51; H, 5.73; N,12.24 Calcd. for C30H26N4O: C, 78.58; H, 5.71; N, 12.22)
All H atoms were positioned geometrically with C—H distances ranging from 0.95 to 0.99 Å and allowed to ride on their parent atoms with Uiso(H) = 1.2 Ueq of the carrier atom.

Geometry. All e.s.d.'s (except the e.s.d. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of e.s.d.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between e.s.d.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell e.s.d.'s is used for estimating e.s.d.'s involving l.s. planes. |
Refinement. Refinement of F2 against ALL reflections. The weighted R-factor wR and goodness of fit S are based on F2, conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F2. The threshold expression of F2 > σ(F2) is used only for calculating R-factors(gt) etc. and is not relevant to the choice of reflections for refinement. R-factors based on F2 are statistically about twice as large as those based on F, and R- factors based on ALL data will be even larger. |

Benzimidazole derivatives, such as mebendazole and albendazole, are used as anthelmintic drugs. More recently, the antiprotozoal activity of 2- and 5-substituted benzimidazoles has been reported (Navarrete-Vázquez et al. 2001). The benzimidazole core is of interest because of its diverse biological activities, and it is a well known structure in medicinal chemistry (Horton et al. 2003). The molecular structure of the title compound is shown in Fig. 1. The dihedral angle between N3/N4/C10-C16 and C18-C23 is 76.79 (12)° and that between N1/N2/C1-C7 and C25-C30 is 86.10 (11)°.
