In the title compound, C16H15N3O3, the dihedral angle between the approximately planar benzimidazolyl group (r.m.s. deviation = 0.010 Å) and the pyrrolidine ring is 78.20 (6)°. The C—C—N bond angle of the bridging CH2 group is 112.14 (16)°. In the crystal, molecules are linked via N—H⋯N hydrogen bonds, forming infinite chains parallel to [101] and [10].

A mixture of 0.5 mmol norcantharidin, 0.5 mmol 2-(aminomethyl)benzimidazole, 0.5 mmol cadmium acetate as a promoter, and 10 mL distilled water was sealed in a 25 mL Teflon-lined stainless vessel and heated at 433 K for 3 d, then cooled slowly to room temperature. The solution was filtered and gave then block-like transparent crystals.
The structure was solved by
and successive Fourier difference synthesis. The H atoms were positioned geometrically and refined using a riding model [aromatic C—H = 0.93 Å, aliphatic C—H = 0.97Å, and N—H = 0.86 Å, Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C, N)]. In the absence of significant the Friedel pairs of the polar structure were merged.Data collection: APEX2 (Bruker, 2006); cell

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. |

Norcantharidin is an important compound that has a variety of bioactivities, such as protein kinase inhibition and antitumor activity (Wang, 1989). As a contribution to structure-activity studies in this field, the title compound, (I), a norcantharidin imide (Hill et al., 2007), was synthesized and investigated by X-ray crystallography. A related norcantharidin imide was reported by Zhu & Lin (2009).
X-ray crystallography confirmed the anticipated molecular structure and the atom connectivity for the title compound, as illustrated in Fig. 1. The norcantharidin imide and the benzimidazole moiety of (I) are rigid and feature usual bond lengths and angles. The dihedral angle between the flat benzimidazolyl group (C9—C15,N1,N2) and the pyrrolidine ring (C1,C2,C7,C8,N3) is 78.20 (6)°. The bond angle of the bridging CH2 group is C15—C16—N3 = 112.1 (2)°. In the crystal structure the molecules are linked via the hydrogen bond N1—H1A···N2i, N1···N2i = 2.827 (2) Å ((i): x+1/4, -y+1/4, z+1/4), to form infinite hydrogen bonded chains parallel to [101] and [101].
