The molecule in the structure of the title compound, C15H11ClN2OS, displays two planar residues [r.m.s. deviation = 0.014 Å for the benzimidazole residue, and the ketone group is co-planar with the benzene ring to which it is attached forming a O—C—C—C torsion angle of −173.18 (14) °] linked at the S atom. The overall shape is based on a twisted V, the dihedral angle formed between the two planes being 82.4 (2) °. The amine-H atom is bifurcated, forming N—H⋯O and N—H⋯S hydrogen bonds leading to dimeric aggregates. These are linked into a supramolecular chain along the c axis via C—H⋯π hydrogen bonds. Chains form layers in the ab plane being connected along the c axis via weak π–π interactions [3.9578 (8) Å] formed between centrosymmetrically related chloro-substituted benzene rings.

The reaction of 2-mercaptobenzimidazole with 4-chloroacetophenone in boiling AcOH/H2SO4 afforded the sulfate salt of 2-(1H-benzo[d]imidazol-2-ylthio)-1-(4-chlorophenyl)ethanone after Sarhan et al. (1996). Neutralization of the latter salt afforded the title compound and the light-brown crystals were grown from its ethanol solution by slow evaporation at room temperature.
Carbon-bound H-atoms were placed in calculated positions [C—H 0.95 to 0.99 Å, Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C)] and were included in the
in the riding model approximation. The amino-H atom was located in a difference Fourier map, and subsequently refined freely.The structural analysis of the title compound, (I), is motivated by recent studies into the biological potential of benzimidazoles (Al-Rashood & Abdel-Aziz, 2010; Abdel-Aziz et al., 2010). The molecule of (I), Fig. 1, has a twisted V-shape. As expected, the benzimidazole residue is planar (r.m.s. deviation = 0.014 Å). The ketone group is co-planar with the benzene ring to which it is attached as seen in the value of the O1—C9—C10—C11 torsion angle of -173.18 (14) °. As the S1—C8—C9—O1 torsion angle is -0.39 (18) °, the molecule comprises two planar residues that form a dihedral angle of 82.4 (2) °. The most closely related structure in the literature is that of 2-(benzoylmethylsulfanyl)-6-methoxy-1H-benzimidazole (Lynch & McClenaghan, 2004), i.e. with a methoxy substituent on the benzene ring of the benzimidazole and no substituent on the ring attached to the ketone. This adopts a similar conformation with the ketone benzene ring inclined to the benzimidazole residue with the dihedral angle formed between the ring systems being 67.13 (9) °.
In the crystal packing two molecules, related by a 2-fold axis of symmetry associate via N—H···O and N—H···S hydrogen bonds as the amine-H atom is bifurcated, Table 1. As seen from Fig. 2, this results in the formation of two S(5), {···H···OC2S} ring motifs which flank a central eight-membered {···HNCS}2 synthon. The dimeric aggregates are linked into a supramolecular chain along the c axis via C—H···π interactions Table 1 and Fig. 3. Chains assemble into layers in the ab plane and are connected along the c axis via weak π···π interactions of 3.9578 (8) Å formed between the chloro-substituted benzene rings (C10–C15); 1/2 - x, 1/2 - y, 1 - z, Fig. 4.

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 structural analysis of the title compound, (I), is motivated by recent studies into the biological potential of benzimidazoles (Al-Rashood & Abdel-Aziz, 2010; Abdel-Aziz et al., 2010). The molecule of (I), Fig. 1, has a twisted V-shape. As expected, the benzimidazole residue is planar (r.m.s. deviation = 0.014 Å). The ketone group is co-planar with the benzene ring to which it is attached as seen in the value of the O1—C9—C10—C11 torsion angle of -173.18 (14) °. As the S1—C8—C9—O1 torsion angle is -0.39 (18) °, the molecule comprises two planar residues that form a dihedral angle of 82.4 (2) °. The most closely related structure in the literature is that of 2-(benzoylmethylsulfanyl)-6-methoxy-1H-benzimidazole (Lynch & McClenaghan, 2004), i.e. with a methoxy substituent on the benzene ring of the benzimidazole and no substituent on the ring attached to the ketone. This adopts a similar conformation with the ketone benzene ring inclined to the benzimidazole residue with the dihedral angle formed between the ring systems being 67.13 (9) °.
In the crystal packing two molecules, related by a 2-fold axis of symmetry associate via N—H···O and N—H···S hydrogen bonds as the amine-H atom is bifurcated, Table 1. As seen from Fig. 2, this results in the formation of two S(5), {···H···OC2S} ring motifs which flank a central eight-membered {···HNCS}2 synthon. The dimeric aggregates are linked into a supramolecular chain along the c axis via C—H···π interactions Table 1 and Fig. 3. Chains assemble into layers in the ab plane and are connected along the c axis via weak π···π interactions of 3.9578 (8) Å formed between the chloro-substituted benzene rings (C10–C15); symmetry operation: 1/2 - x, 1/2 - y, 1 - z, Fig. 4.
