The synthesis of the title compound was carried out according to the published procedure (Lilienkampf et al., 2009). Briefly, to a solution of 2- aminobenzimidazole (0.50 g m, 3.76 mmol) in dry acetone was added anhydrous K2CO3 (3.112 g m, 22.55 mmol) and reaction mixture was further refluxed for 15–30 minutes. Subsequently, KI (0.312 g m, 1.88 mmol) and propargyl bromide (0.39 ml, 4.37 mmol) were added into it and further refluxed the reaction mixture for 18 hrs. After this period, the reaction mixture was cooled, filtered and the filtrate was concentrated invacuo up to 10 ml and left for few days at room temperature which gave transparent crystals after slow evaporation of solvent. Yield = 30%, MS (Macromass G) m/z = 188 (M+), Rf0.59 (98:2, CH2Cl2: MeOH) Elemental analysis (Perkin –Elmer 240°C elemental analyzer)Calculated for: C10 H9 N3(%) C– 70.2, H-5.3, N -24.5 found C-69.9, H-5.5, N -24.6. 1H NMR (CDCl3), 7.71–7.68 (m, 1H), 7.44–7.42 (m, 1H), 7.26–7.21 (m, 1H), 7.07–7.02 (m, 1H), 4.88 (s, 2H, NH2), 4.71 (s, 2H, CH2), 2.43 (s, 1H, CH).
All H atoms were located from difference Fourier map (range of C—H = 0.93 - 0.97 Å and N—H = 0.86 (18) - 0.90 (2) Å) and allowed to refine freely.
The 2-aminobenzimidazole compounds showed different biological activities such as immunotropic, diuretic, antihistamine as well as highly selective p38a MAP inhibition properties ( Nawrocka et al., 1999, Cuberens & Contijoch 1997, Mor et al., 2004, De Dios et al., 2005). The polyfunctionality of the 2-aminobenzimidazole molecule is due to the cyclic guanidine moiety which acts as a building block for the synthesis of a large number of benzimidazole derivatives. The various benzimidazole derivatives such as enviradene and enviroxime and other 2-aminobenzimidazole derivatives have been synthesized and screened for antiviral activity (Garuti & Roberti 2002, Andries et al., 2003). Moreover, a number of 2-aminobenzimidazoles have exhibited antiproliferative properties (Garuti, Varoli et al., 1998, Nawrocka et al., 2005). Further, different substituted 2-aminobenzimidazoles have been found to possess inhibition activity against various strains of bacteria, fungi and yeasts in vivo and in vitro ( Nofal et al., 2002, Omar et al., 1996, Del Poenta et al., 1999). In continuation with our recent work on structural analysis of small molecule (Singh, Agarwal, Mahawar & Awasthi 2011, Singh, Singh, Agarwal, Hussain & Awasthi 2011, Singh, Agarwal & Awasthi 2011, Agarwal et al., 2011), we wish to report here the
of 1-prop-2-ynyl-1H-benzimidazol-2-ylamine (Figure1).In the title compound, the C7-N3 single bond length (1.35 Å) is shorter than normal C-N (1.47 Å) bond suggesting a delocalized double bond in benzimidazole moiety. Again, in the π···π interaction assembling, thus forming into supramolecule type assembly with a tri-dimensional network (Figure 2, Table 1). π···π interactions form a dimer, the ring A and B of an benzimidazole skeleton stacks with the ring B and A of another adjacent benzimidazole skeleton, respectively. The distance of CgA and CgB is 3.641 Å, where CgA and CgB are the center of ring A and B, respectively and the centroid - centroid distance between two adjacent benzimidazole ring is 3.580 Å and the bond distance between atoms C5···C10 is found to be 3.282 Å as well as the bond distance between atoms C1···C5 is found to be 3.369 Å, which helps in overall packing as well as stabilization (Figure 2). In the molecule, 2-aminobenzimidazole ring and CH2-C≡CH are non-planar with dihedral angle is 60.36. The CCDC No. of crystal is 843876.

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 2-aminobenzimidazole compounds showed different biological activities such as immunotropic, diuretic, antihistamine as well as highly selective p38a MAP inhibition properties ( Nawrocka et al., 1999, Cuberens & Contijoch 1997, Mor et al., 2004, De Dios et al., 2005). The polyfunctionality of the 2-aminobenzimidazole molecule is due to the cyclic guanidine moiety which acts as a building block for the synthesis of a large number of benzimidazole derivatives. The various benzimidazole derivatives such as enviradene and enviroxime and other 2-aminobenzimidazole derivatives have been synthesized and screened for antiviral activity (Garuti & Roberti 2002, Andries et al., 2003). Moreover, a number of 2-aminobenzimidazoles have exhibited antiproliferative properties (Garuti, Varoli et al., 1998, Nawrocka et al., 2005). Further, different substituted 2-aminobenzimidazoles have been found to possess inhibition activity against various strains of bacteria, fungi and yeasts in vivo and in vitro ( Nofal et al., 2002, Omar et al., 1996, Del Poenta et al., 1999). In continuation with our recent work on structural analysis of small molecule (Singh, Agarwal, Mahawar & Awasthi 2011, Singh, Singh, Agarwal, Hussain & Awasthi 2011, Singh, Agarwal & Awasthi 2011, Agarwal et al., 2011), we wish to report here the crystal structure of 1-prop-2-ynyl-1H-benzimidazol-2-ylamine (Figure1).
In the title compound, the C7-N3 single bond length (1.35 Å) is shorter than normal C-N (1.47 Å) bond suggesting a delocalized double bond in benzimidazole moiety. Again, in the crystal structure, the title compound is stabilized by intermolecular N-H···N hydrogen bonding and π···π interaction assembling, thus forming into supramolecule type assembly with a tri-dimensional network (Figure 2, Table 1). π···π interactions form a dimer, the ring A and B of an benzimidazole skeleton stacks with the ring B and A of another adjacent benzimidazole skeleton, respectively. The distance of CgA and CgB is 3.641 Å, where CgA and CgB are the center of ring A and B, respectively and the centroid - centroid distance between two adjacent benzimidazole ring is 3.580 Å and the bond distance between atoms C5···C10 is found to be 3.282 Å as well as the bond distance between atoms C1···C5 is found to be 3.369 Å, which helps in overall crystal structure packing as well as stabilization (Figure 2). In the molecule, 2-aminobenzimidazole ring and CH2-C≡CH are non-planar with dihedral angle is 60.36. The CCDC No. of crystal is 843876.
