In the title compound, C20H21FN2O2, the benzene ring and the benzimidazole ring system are inclined at a dihedral angle of 44.40 (9)°. In the crystal, molecules are linked by intermolecular C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds, forming a zigzag chain along the b-axis direction. An intramolecular C—H⋯π interaction is also observed.

A solution of ethyl-3-amino-4-(sec-butylamino) benzoate (1.0 mmol) and sodium bisulfite adduct of 4-fluorobenzaldehyde (3.5 mmol) in DMF was treated under microwave conditions at 130 °C for 2 minutes. The reaction mixture was diluted in EtOAc (20 ml) and washed with H2O (20 ml). The organic layer was collected and dried with Na2SO4. The solvent was evaporated in vacuo to afford a crude product. Recrystallization of the crude product gave the title compound as colourless crystal.
All H atoms were positioned geometrically and refined using a riding model, with C—H = 0.93–0.98 Å, and with Uiso(H)= 1.2 or 1.5Ueq(C). The rotating group model was applied for methyl groups.

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 synthesis of benzimidazole heterocycles is ever fascinating since they promise a wide spectrum of pharmacological activities such as antibacterial (Özden et al., 2004), anticancer (Easmon et al., 2001) and antifungal (Spasov et al., 1999). As the benzimidazole derivative is of much importance, we have undertaken the X-ray crystal structure determination of the title compound.
The title compound (Fig. 1) is similar to those previously reported ethyl-1-sec-butyl-2-(4-chlorophenyl)-1H-benzimidazole-5-carboxylate (Arumugam, Abdul Rahim, Osman, Quah & Fun, 2010) except the fluorine atom is attached at the para position of the phenyl ring. The phenyl (C8/C9/C10/ C11/C12/C13) and benzimidazole (N1/N2/C1/C2/C3/C4/C5) fragments are essentially planar with maximum deviation is 0.005 (2)Å for atom C2. Both fragments are inclined to each other by 44.40 (9)°. The bond lengths are in normal ranges (Allen et al., 1987) and in agreement to those reported by Arumugam et al. (Arumugam, Abd Hamid et al., 2010; Arumugam, Abdul Rahim, Osman, Hemamalini & Fun, 2010; Arumugam, Abdul Rahim, Osman, Quah & Fun, 2010). In the crystal structure (Fig. 2), the molecules are linked by intermolecular C5—H5···O1i and C20—H20C···O1i hydrogen bonds (symmetry codes as in Table 1) to form a zigzag chain along the b axis. The molecular structure is further stabilized by an intramolecular C—H···Cg1 (Table 1) interaction; Cg1 is the centroid of the N1/C7/N2/C1/C6 ring.
