5,6-Dimethyl-2-(5-methyl-thio-phen-2-yl)-1-[(5-methyl-thio-phen-2-yl)meth-yl]-1H-benzimidazole.

ABSTRACT: The title mol-ecule, C20H20N2S2, is T-shaped and consists of a nearly flat 5,6-dimethyl-2-(5-methyl-thio-phen-2-yl)benzimidazole system approximately perpendicular to the 5-methyl-thio-phen-2-ylmethyl substituent. The 5,6-dimethyl-2-(5-meth-yl-thio-phen-2-yl)benzimidazole system is rotationally disordered about the two imidazole N atoms as approximated by a twofold rotation axis with a refined major/minor occupancy ratio of 0.884 (2):0.116 (2). The benzimidazole ring system is essentially planar, the largest deviations being 0.026 (2) and 0.044 (18) Å in the major and minor components, respectively. The inter-planar angles between the benzimidazole unit and the 5-methyl-thio-phen-2-yl substituent are 10.8 (3) and 8(3)° in the major and minor components, respectively, and the corresponding
