In the title molecule, C

3O
3, the dihedral angle between the benzimidazole and nitro group planes is 5.34 (9)° and the dihedral angle between the benzimidazole and aliphatic chain mean planes is 73.23 (5)°. The C—C—C—C torsion angles (about

176°) of the nonyl group indicate an all-antiperiplanar conformation. In the crystal, adjacent molecules are linked by pairs of N—H

O hydrogen bonds into inversion dimers. These molecules are further connected through C—H

O interactions, building tapes parallel to (

22).

To 5-nitro-1H-benzoimidazol-2(3H)-one (0.2 g, 1.1 mmol), potassium
carbonate (0.30 g, 2.2 mmol) and tetra-n-butylammonium bromide (0.07 g, 0.2 mmol) in DMF (15 ml) was added 1-bromononane (0.43 ml, 2.2 mmol). Stirring was
continued at room temperature for 6 h. The salt was removed by filtration and
the filtrate concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was separated by
chromatography on a column of silica gel with ethyl acetate/hexane (1/2) as
eluent. Colorless needle-shaped crystals were isolated when the solvent was
allowed to evaporate [(m.p. 392–394 K (ethanol)].
H atoms were located in a difference map and treated as riding with C—H = 0.99 Å, 0.98, Å, 0.95 Å, and 0.88 Å for –CH2–, –CH3, aromatic CH and
NH respectively. All H atoms with Uiso(H) = 1.2 Ueq
(aromatic, methylene, N) and Uiso(H) = 1.5 Ueq(methyl).

Special details top
Geometry. All s.u.'s (except the s.u. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are
estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell s.u.'s are taken into
account individually in the estimation of s.u.'s in distances, angles and
torsion angles; correlations between s.u.'s in cell parameters are only used
when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic)
treatment of cell s.u.'s is used for estimating s.u.'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. |

Benzimidazoles are useful intermediates/subunits for the development of molecules of pharmaceutical or biological interest (Gbadamassi et al., 1988). Benzimidazolone and its derivatives are also an important class of bioactive molecules in the field of drugs and pharmaceuticals (Derand et al., 2003). They found potential applications in diverse therapeutic areas including, anti-hypertensives and anti-virals (Badarau et al., 2009; Singh et al., 2000). The structural studies of benzimidazolone, linked to an isopropenyl and nonyl group respectively, have been published by Saber et al. (2010)and Ouzidan et al. (2011).
The 5-nitro-1-nonyl-1H-benzimidazol-2(3H)-one molecule structure is built up from two fused six-and five-membered rings linked to C9H19 chain as shown in Fig.1. The aliphatic chain has all-antiperiplanar (all-trans) conformation. Furthermore, the fused-ring system and the nitro group are almost planar, with a maximum deviation of 0.0414 (8) Å and 0.0250 (7) Å for C4 and N1 respectively. The dihedral angle between the two rings and nitro group planes is 5.34 (9)°. The torsion angles C1 N2 C8 C9 and C13 C14 C15 C16 are 113.66 (8)° and 177.26 (7)° respectively.
In the crystal, adjacent molecules are linked by pairs of N—H···O hydrogen bonds into inversion dimers. These molecules are further connected through C—H···O hydrogen bonds into a tape parallel to the (-1 2 2) plane, as schown in Fig. 2 and Table 1.
