1-Ethyl-3-(2-Phenyl­ethyl)­Benz­imidazole-2-Selone

Abstract

The title compound, C<inf>17</inf>H<inf>18</inf>N<inf>2</inf>Se, was synthesized by heating bis[1-ethyl-3-(2-phenylethyl)benzimidazolidin-2-ylidene] and selenium in toluene. The dihedral angle between the benzimidazole ring system and the phenyl ring is 17.2 (2)°. © 2004 International Union of Crystallography Printed in Great Britain - all rights reserved.
