Abstract
The title compound, C17H26N4O4Cl2, was synthesized by reacting benzimidazole, metallic Na and 1,3-dibromopropane in THF. It crsytallizes in the monoclinic C2/c space group. The unit-cell parameters at room temperature are a = 20.818(5)Å, b = 7.754(5)Å, c = 15.133(5)Å, β = 123.221(5)°, V = 2043.6(16)Å3, Dx = 1.369 g/cm3, Z = 4. The molecules of the title compound lie on the crystallographic two-fold axis and an asymmetric unit in the unitcell contains half of the molecule and two waters and one chlorine ion. The crystal structure is stabilized by the N-H…O, O-H…O, O-H…Cl, C-H…O and C-H…Cl hydrogen bonding interactions.
