(Received 24 September 2010; accepted 30 September 2010; online 9 October 2010)

The title compound, C15H12N2O2·3H2O, has been prepared from the reaction of a Schiff base of benzene-1,2-diamine and iron perchlorate at room temperature. The dihedral angle between the benzimidazole ring and the 4-substituted benzene ring is 0.47 (3)°. Hydrogen bonding involving water mol­ecules, imidazole N, imidazole imine H and ester O atoms stabilizes the crystal structure.

Benzimidazole and its derivatives are important heterocyclic compounds with versatile pharmacological activities and have been reportedly used as antiparasitic, antimicrobial, and antifungal agents (Ries et al., 2003, Matsui et al. 1994). They also play very important role in the synthesis of many natural products and synthetic drugs. Herein we report a facile synthesis of compound I from a Schiff's base of 1,2-phenylenediamine using iron perchlorate at room temperature. As a part of our ongoing studies of photophysical properties of metal benzimidazole complexes, the title compound (I) (Fig. 1) was obtained by the reaction of dimethyl 4,4'-(1,2-phenylenebis(azan-1-yl-1-ylidene)bis (methan-1-yl-1-ylidene)dibenzoate and iron perchlorate in presence of dil. NaOH at 298 K (scheme 1). All other previously reported syntheses were done at a higher temperature.

Both the benzimidazole (N1—C7—N2—C13—C8) and methyl benzoate (C3—C4—C5—C6—C12—C11) fragments in this molecule are essentially coplanar similar to the previously reported 4-nitro analogue (De-Hong Wu, 2009). Here, benzimidazole N—H atom does not involve in N—H···N intermolecular hydrogen bonds as in all other cases. This benzimidazole N—H interacts with O3 from one of the water molecules (H17—O3—H17) and one of the hydrogen H16 (from the same water molecule) to form hydrogen bonding interaction with O2 atom of the ester moiety. In addition, N1 atom of benzimidazole ring forms hydrogen bond with the H18 atom of H18—O4—H19 molecule. Another notable hydrogen bonding interaction involves a bridge formation by the oxygen atom O5 in (H20—O5—H21) with two water molecules (H18—O4—H19). The water molecules are contained within channels running parrllel to the a axis. However, view along c axis shows clearly the side-on substructure formed by water molecules (Fig. 2). Examination of the bond length data reveal that the distances N1—C7 and N2—C7 in the imidazole ring are respectively 1.3321 (15)Å and 1.3638 (14) Å, and is intermediate between the model C—N bond length of 1.48Å and the typical CN distance of 1.28 Å, indicating partial double-bond character. This can be interpreted in terms of conjugation within the heterocyclic ring system. The bond angles N1—C7—N2 and C5—C6—C12 are 112.56 (10)° and 118.95 (10)° respectively, which is similar to the earlier reported structure (Bei et al., 2000). The imidazole ring (N1—C7—N2—C8—C13) of one molecule and the phenyl ring (C8—C9—C10—C15—C14—C13) of another molecule are approximately parallel with the distance between their centroids being 3.520 (3)Å indicating π-stacking interactions displaying a two-dimensional supramolecular array. The stacking interaction is highlighted in Fig. 3.

Experimental top

A methanolic solution of dimethyl 4,4'-(1,2-phenylenebis(azan-1-yl-1-ylidene)bis(methan -1-yl-1-ylidene)dibenzoate) (synthesized by condensation of 1,2-phenylene diamine and 4-formyl methyl benzoate in 1:2 stoichiometric proportion) 109.40 mg (2.7 mmol) and Fe(ClO4)2.6H2O, 50 mg (1.35 mmol) were mixed and to it was added 5 drops of 5% NaOH solution. The solution immediately changes from yellow to colourless. The solution was further stirred for 30 minutes at room temperature (298 K). The resulting solution was allowed to evaporate slowly at room temperature from which colourless single crystals of the title compound were obtained (Scheme 1).

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.
