A mixture of 1-trimethylsilylmethylbenzimidazole (1.02 g, 5 mmol) and benzyl chloride (0.60 cm3, 5 mmol) in dimethylformamide (5 ml) was refluxed for 3 h. The mixture was then cooled and the volatiles were removed in vacuo. The residue was crystallized from a dimethylformamide/ethanol (1:1). White crystals of the title compound (1.36 g, 82%) were obtained, m.p. 425–426 K; ν(CN) = 1553 cm-1. Anal. Found: C 61.64, H 7.19, N 7.93%. Calculated for C18H25ClN2OSi: C 61.96, H 7.22, N 8.03%. 1H NMR (δ, DMSO-d6): 10.21 (s, 1H, NCHN), 8.11 - 7.59 (m, 4H, C6H4), 7.56–7.33 (m, 5H, C6H5), 5.86 (s, 2H, CH2 benzyl), 4.30 (s, 2H, CH2Si) and 0.14 [s, 9H, (CH3)3Si]. 13C NMR (δ, DMSO-d6): 141.6 (NCHN), 134.6, 132.1, 130.8, 129.1, 128.8 and 128.3 (C6H4), 126.8, 126.5, 114.3 and 113.9 (C6H5), 49.8 (CH2 benzyl), 38.1(CH2Si) and -2.5 [(CH3)3Si].
All H atoms attached to C atoms were fixed geometrically and treated as riding with C—H = 0.93 Å (aromatic), 0.96 Å (methyl) and 0.97 Å (methylene) with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C) or 1.5Ueq(methyl). H atoms of water molecule were located in difference Fourier maps and included in the subsequent refinement using restraints (O-H= 0.83 (1)Å and H···H= 1.40 (2)Å) with Uiso(H) = 1.5Ueq(O).In the last cycles of refinement, they were treated as riding on the O atoms.

Geometry. All esds (except the esd in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell esds are taken into account individually in the estimation of esds in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between esds in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell esds is used for estimating esds involving l.s. planes. |
Refinement. Refinement on F2 for ALL reflections except those flagged by the user for potential systematic errors. Weighted R-factors wR and all goodnesses of fit S are based on F2, conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F2. The observed criterion of F2 > σ(F2) is used only for calculating -R-factor-obs 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. |

Although there are different antibacterial and antifungal drugs used in the treatment of bacterial and fungal infections, some of them have undesirable side effects. In addition, some of them become less effective due to the development of resistance to these drugs (Williams et al., 2002). Therefore, many clinically effective antibacterial and antifungal drugs have become less effective due to the development of resistance to these drugs. Since, benzimidazole compounds have been found to have a broad range of pharmacological activity, many research groups as well as our group have been interested in these type of heterocyclic compounds (Singh et al., 2000; Huang et al. 2006; Turner & Denny, 1996; Lukevics et al., 2001; Galal et al. 2009; Çetinkaya et al., 1996; Küçükbay et al., 1995, 1997, 2003, 2004, 2010; Yılmaz & Küçükbay, 2009; Tavman et al., 2005). In recent years, considerable attention has been given to the synthesis of alkylsilyl substituted benzimidazole derivatives because of their properties in cancer therapy. For example, 1-(3-trimethylsilylpropyl)benzimidazole inhibits carcinoma S-180 tumour growth in dose 1 mg.kg-1 by 62% (on ICR mice) (Lukevics et al., 2001). These properties of silylsubstituted benzimidazole compounds, triggered us to synthesis novel trimethylsilyl substituted benzimidazole compounds. The objectives of this study were to synthesize and elucidate the crystal structure of the title compound, 1-benzyl-3-trimethylsilylmethylbenzimidazolium chloride monohydrate, (I).
In the title molecule, (Fig. 1), the benzimidazole ring system (N1/N2/C1–C7) is approximately planar, with maximum deviations of -0.022 (2) Å for C6, -0.018 (2) for C1 and 0.015 (2) for C7. The benzimidazole (N1/N2/C1–C7) and phenyl (C9–C14) systems make an angle of 74.80 (12)°. The values of the geometric parameters in (I) are comparable with those observed for other similar compounds (Akkurt et al., 2008, 2010). The average value of the Si—C bond length is 1.854 (4) Å. The angles around the Si atoms with a distorted tetrahedral geometry rang from 105.86 (16)° to 111.81 (16)°.
The crystal packing of (I) is stabilized by O—H···Cl, C—H···Cl and C—H···π interactions between symmetry-related molecules (Fig. 2 and Table 1), together with π-π stacking interactions between imidazolium and benzene (Table 2).
