The title compound was synthesized by the reaction of 4,4,4-trifluoro-1- phenylbutane-1,3-dione (1 mmol) and 1H-benzo[d]imidazol-2-amine (1 mmol) in refluxing ethanol (20 mL) for a certain time (monitored by TLC). Cooling, the reaction mixture slowly to room temperature, gave single crystals suitable for X-ray diffraction.
Hydrogen atoms bound to nitrogen atoms were located in a difference Fourier map and were refined with d(N—H) restrained to 0.90 (1) Å and d(H1A···H1B) restrained to 1.50 (1) Å. Other H atoms were placed in calculated positions, d(C—H) = 0.93 Å, and included in the final cycles of
using a riding model, with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C).Data collection: CrystalClear (Rigaku/MSC, 2002); cell

Geometry. All esds (except the esd in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell esds are taken into account individually in the estimation of esds in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between esds in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell esds is used for estimating esds 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 > 2sigma(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. |

Compounds that contain fluorine exhibit particular bioactivity, for example, flumioxazin is a widely used herbicide (Hermann et al., 2003; Ulrich,2004). This led us to pay much attention to the synthesis and structure of similar fluoro-compounds. During the synthesis of trifluoromethylated heterocyclic compounds, an intermediate, the title compound,(I), Fig.1, was isolated and we report its crystal structure here.
The 1H-benzo[d]imizol-2-amine cation adopts a planar conformation with an rms deviation of 0.0174 for the fitted atoms. The phenyl ring is almost perpendicular to the fused heterocyclic rings, with a dihedral angle of 81.84 (4)° between them. The cation and anion in the asymmetric unit are linked by N1—H1B···O1 and N2—H2A···O2 hydrogen bonds.
The crystal packing is further stabilized by additional intermolecular N—H···O hydrogen bonds (Table 1, Fig. 2) and intermolecular π···π stacking interactions between the C5-C10 phenyl rings (symmetry code: 2-x, -y, -z) of neighbouring anions with centroid-to-centroid distances, plane-plane distances and displacement distances of 4.0976 (13), 3.786 and 1.565Å respectively.
