In the title compound, C17H16N2O3·3H2O, the dihedral angle between the mean planes of the benzene and benzimidazole systems is 26.2 (3)°. These groups are slightly twisted around the ethoxymethane unit [C—C—O—C torsion angle = 177.64 (15)°]. The crystal packing is stabilized by N—H⋯O, O—H⋯N and O—H⋯O hydrogen-bond interactions involving the water molecules. Weak π–π stacking interactions [centroid–centroid distances = 3.7943 (7), 3.6919 (13) and 3.7533 (14) Å] contribute to the molecular stability.

Ethyl vanillin (0.05 mol) was dissolved in 40 ml of ethanolic KOH (0.05 mol) and the solution was stirred for 1 h. 2-Chloromethyl-1H-benzimidazole (0.05 mole) was added with continuous stirring and refluxed for 5 h. The reaction mixture was cooled at room temperature, then poured into crushed ice. The solid product that separated out was filtered off and recrystallized using 1,4-dioxane. Single crystals were grown from ethanol slow evaporation method with a yield of 48%. (m.p.: 366 K). Analytical data: Found (Calculated): C %: 68.87(68.91); H%: 5.39 (5.44); N%: 9.40 (9.45).
The H atoms on the water molecules (H1W1, H1W2, H2W1, H2W2, H3W1, H3W2) were originally located in a difference Fourier and then their coordinates were allowed to refine with restraints to keep them in the range of 0.80 - 0.84 Å. The remaining H atoms were then positioned geometrically and allowed to ride on their parent atoms with Atom—H lengths of 0.86Å (NH), 0.93 Å (CH), 0.97Å (CH2) or 0.96Å (CH3). Isotropic displacement parameters for these atoms were set to 1.5 times (OH), 1.2 times (NH), 1.2 (CH, CH2) or 1.5 (CH3) times Ueq of the parent atom. In the absence of
effects Friedel opposites were merged.The benzimidazole ring system and its related compounds play an important role in pharmaceutical and agricultural fields due to their broad spectrum of biological activities (Pujar et al., 1988, Bouwman et al., 1990). The synthesis of novel benzimidazole derivatives remains a main focus of medicinal research. Benzimidazoles are useful as insecticides, acaricides, nematocides, herbicides and other plant-protective agents in the field of pest control (Madkour et al., 2006). In recent years, attention has increasingly been given to the synthesis of benzimidazole derivatives as a source of new antimicrobial agents. The crystal structures of some benzimidazole derivatives viz., 2-chloromethyl-1H-benzimidazole nitrate (Jian et al., 2003) and 5-methoxy-1H-benzo[d]imidazole-2(3H)-thione (Odabaşoğlu et al., 2007) have been reported. In view of the importance of benzimidazoles, the title compound, (I), ihas been synthesized and its
is reported here.In (I) the dihedral angle between the mean planes of the benzene and benzimidazoles is 26.2 (6)° (Fig. 1). These groups are slightly twisted around the ethoxymethane structure (C2/C3/O3/C11 torsion angle = 177.64(15°). Bond distances and angles are in normal ranges (Allen et al., 1987). Crystal packing is stabilized by O—H···O, O—H..N and N—H···O hydrogen bond interactions (Fig. 2, Table 1) involving lattice crystallized water molecules which form a R22(10) graph-set motif (Fig. 3) and a two-dimensional chain along (001). Weak π-π stacking interactions (Table 2) contribute to molecular stability.

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. |

The benzimidazole ring system and its related compounds play an important role in pharmaceutical and agricultural fields due to their broad spectrum of biological activities (Pujar et al., 1988, Bouwman et al., 1990). The synthesis of novel benzimidazole derivatives remains a main focus of medicinal research. Benzimidazoles are useful as insecticides, acaricides, nematocides, herbicides and other plant-protective agents in the field of pest control (Madkour et al., 2006). In recent years, attention has increasingly been given to the synthesis of benzimidazole derivatives as a source of new antimicrobial agents. The crystal structures of some benzimidazole derivatives viz., 2-chloromethyl-1H-benzimidazole nitrate (Jian et al., 2003) and 5-methoxy-1H-benzo[d]imidazole-2(3H)-thione (Odabaşoğlu et al., 2007) have been reported. In view of the importance of benzimidazoles, the title compound, (I), ihas been synthesized and its crystal structure is reported here.
In (I) the dihedral angle between the mean planes of the benzene and benzimidazoles is 26.2 (6)° (Fig. 1). These groups are slightly twisted around the ethoxymethane structure (C2/C3/O3/C11 torsion angle = 177.64(15°). Bond distances and angles are in normal ranges (Allen et al., 1987). Crystal packing is stabilized by O—H···O, O—H..N and N—H···O hydrogen bond interactions (Fig. 2, Table 1) involving lattice crystallized water molecules which form a R22(10) graph-set motif (Fig. 3) and a two-dimensional chain along (001). Weak π-π stacking interactions (Table 2) contribute to molecular stability.
