In the title compound, C15H20N2O3, the benzimidazole ring is essentially planar, with a maximum deviation from the mean plane of 0.012 (1) Å. The is stabilized by intermolecular O—H⋯N hydrogen bonds, forming centrosymmetric dimers, which are connected in the [100] direction through weak C—H⋯O contacts.

A mixture of ethyl 3-amino-4-[(2-hydroxyethyl)-amino]benzoate (0.10 g, 0.22 mmol), K10-montmorillonite (0.26 g), butyraldehyde (0.07 g, 0.95 mmol) and 1 ml of MeCN were irradiated in CEMTM microwave at 80 °C, 150 W, 5 bar and hold for 5 minutes. Then, another
of aldehyde was added and the reaction was irradiated again at the same conditions as before. The progress of the reaction was monitored by TLC (Hex:EtOAc, 1:4). After completion, the mixture was filtered, washed with DCM and evaporated in vacuo. The resulting crude mixture was chromatographed with PLC (Hex:EtOAc,1:4). The desired compound was recrystallized with hot EtOAc which was slowly evaporated to give colorless single crystals.X-ray data were collected at low temperature (Cosier & Glazer, 1986). The hydroxyl H atom was located in a difference map and refined freely. The remaining H atoms attached to C atoms were fixed geometrically and refined using the riding model, with C—H = 0.95–0.99 Å and with Uiso(H)=1.2 or 1.5Ueq(C). A rotating group model was applied to the methyl groups.
Benzimidazole compounds possess diverse functions in biological activities such as anti-HIV (Rao et al., 2002), antibacterial (Khalafi-Nezhad et al., 2005), antiviral (Tonelli et al., 2010) and antifungal (Chen et al., 2007). On the other hand, the use of microwave irradiation to assist the chemical process helps to reduce the reaction time, producing better yields and cleaner reactions (Kappe, 2004). In continuation of our study on benzimidazole derivatives (Arumugam et al., 2010), we report herein the
of the title compound.In the title molecule (Fig. 1), the benzimidazole ring [C1···C6/N1/C7/N2] is essentially planar with maximum deviation of 0.012 (1) Å for atom C4. The bond lengths and angles are in normal ranges and are in agreement with those of ethyl 1-sec-butyl-2-phenyl-1H- benzimidazole-5-carboxylate (Arumugam et al., 2010). In the
the molecule is stabilized by O3—H3A···N2 intermolecular hydrogen bond (symmetry code as in Table 1) to form dimers, which are further connected via weak C—H···O contacts to give chains in the [100] direction (Fig. 2).For the synthesis of the title compound, see: Arumugam et al. (2010); Kappe (2004). For general background and therapeutic properties of benzimidazole derivatives, see: Rao et al. (2002); Khalafi-Nezhad et al. (2005); Tonelli et al. (2010); Chen et al. (2007).

Benzimidazole compounds possess diverse functions in biological activities such as anti-HIV (Rao et al., 2002), antibacterial (Khalafi-Nezhad et al., 2005), antiviral (Tonelli et al., 2010) and antifungal (Chen et al., 2007). On the other hand, the use of microwave irradiation to assist the chemical process helps to reduce the reaction time, producing better yields and cleaner reactions (Kappe, 2004). In continuation of our study on benzimidazole derivatives (Arumugam et al., 2010), we report herein the crystal structure of the title compound.
In the title molecule (Fig. 1), the benzimidazole ring [C1···C6/N1/C7/N2] is essentially planar with maximum deviation of 0.012 (1) Å for atom C4. The bond lengths and angles are in normal ranges and are in agreement with those of ethyl 1-sec-butyl-2-phenyl-1H- benzimidazole-5-carboxylate (Arumugam et al., 2010). In the crystal structure, the molecule is stabilized by O3—H3A···N2 intermolecular hydrogen bond (symmetry code as in Table 1) to form dimers, which are further connected via weak C—H···O contacts to give chains in the [100] direction (Fig. 2).
