1-n-Decyl-5-nitro-1H-benzimidazol-2(3H)-one

Abstract

The benzimidazolone part of the title mol­ecule, C17H25N3O3, is almost planar (r.m.s. deviation = 0.016 Å) and its mean plane is aligned at 7.9 (4) ° with respect to the mean plane of the nitro substituent. In the crystal, two mol­ecules are disposed about a center of inversion, generating a N—H⋯O hydrogen-bonded cyclic dimer with a R 2 2(8) graph-set motif
