Methyl 4-(1H-benzimidazol-2-yl)benzoate trihydrate.

ABSTRACT: The title compound, C(15)H(12)N(2)O(2)·3H(2)O, has been prepared from the reaction of a Schiff base of benzene-1,2-diamine and iron perchlorate at room temperature. The dihedral angle between the benzimidazole ring and the 4-substituted benzene ring is 0.47 (3)°. Hydrogen bonding involving water mol-ecules, imidazole N, imidazole imine H and ester O atoms stabilizes the crystal structure.
