Synthesis and Structural Studies of 2-((3-Methyl-4-(2,2,2-trifluoroethoxy)pyridin-2-yl)methylthio)-1-(methylsulfonyl)-1H-benzo[d]imidazole

Abstract

The title compound is synthesized and characterized using spectral studies and an X-ray diffraction method. It belongs to the monoclinic crystal system with space group P2₁/c, and cell parameters a = 16.184(7)Å, b = 8.5876(13)Å, c = 15.0540(7)Å, β = 114.510(12)° and Z = 4. The molecules are connected by C-H…F and C-H…O hydrogen bonds. In addition, short contacts of the type C-F…π are observed.
