5-Amino-1-methyl-1H-benzimidazole
2009
The structure of the title compound, C8H9N3, a potential antitumour drug, was determined in order to give more insight into its structure–function relationships. The benzimidazole core of the molecule was found to be exactly planar, while the substituents are displaced slightly from the molecular plane [C—C—N—C and C—C—C—N torsion angles of 0.8 (3) and 179.0 (1)° for the methyl and amino groups, respectively]. The bond lengths are analysed in detail and compared with those of the parent unsubstituted analogues. The results show that the lone-pair electrons on the amino N atom are involved in conjugation with the adjacent π system and hence affect the charge distribution in the heterocycle. Two intermolecular N—H⋯N and C—H⋯N hydrogen bonds have been identified.
