1,3-Difurfurylbenzimidazolium chloride monohydrate.

ABSTRACT: The title compound, C(17)H(15)N(2)O(2) (+)·Cl(-)·H(2)O, was synthesized from benzimidazole and furfryl chloride in dimethyl-formamide. The cationic benzimidazolium ring is connected to two furan rings via methyl-ene bridges. The furan rings make dihedral angle of 79.09?(18)° with respect to each other, and make dihedral angles of 73.92?(12) and 72.58?(13)° with respect to the benzimidazole ring. O-H?Cl, C-H?O and C-H?Cl hydrogen bonds and C-H?? inter-actions contribute to the stabilization of the crystal structure. Furthermore, there is a ?-? inter-action between adjacent five- and six-membered rings of the benzimidazole groups [centroid-centroid distance = 3.5305?(8)?Å].
