1-isopropyl-3-(2-morpholinioethyl)benzimidazolium diiodide

Abstract

The title compound, C16H25N3O2+.2I(-), was synthesized from 1-(2-morpholinoethyl)benzimidazole and isopropyl iodide in tetrahydrofuran. In the molecule, the benzimidazole ring is connected to the morpholine ring by an ethylene group. The crystal structure has been determined at 150 K and exhibits intermolecular C-H...I interactions.
