The title compound, ethyl 2-(4-methoxyphenyl)-1H-benzo[d]imidazole-5-carboxylate dihydrate (5), was synthesized and its crystal structure was studied by single-crystal X-ray diffraction technique. Compound 5 is crystallized in the centrosymmetric triclinic space group P1 ˉ with Z = 4 and Z′ = 2, and unit-cell parameters of a = 8.9190 (3) ?, b = 12.6888 (4) ?, c = 14.7111 (5) ?, α = 98.4855 (10)°, β = 101.6379 (9)°, γ = 95.4346 (10)° and V = 1599.43 (9) ?3. Its starting material, 4-fluoro-3-nitrobenzoic acid (1), is crystallized in the non-centrosymmetric monoclinic space group P21 and Z = 4 with unit-cell parameters of a = 3.7170 (4) ?, b = 12.6475 (13) ?, c = 15.5237 (15) ?, α = 90°, β = 91.9786 (16)°, γ = 90° and V = 729.35 (13) ?3. It was noted that strong hydrogen bonds play important roles in the crystal packing of both compounds, especially in 5, in which the co-crystallized water molecules act as both strong hydrogen bond donor and strong hydrogen bond acceptor. Graphical Abstract: Two molecule of compound 5 crystallized in a non symmetrical manner with four co-crystallized water molecules which play an important role in the crystal packing as strong hydrogen-bond donors.

Abstract: The emergence of drug-resistant strains in recent years has fueled the epidemic of tuberculosis. This necessitates the development of new chemical scaffolds to curb resistant tuberculosis for effective control of this disease. In this study, we have designed and synthesized two series of benzimidazole derivatives. Their antimycobacterial activities were initially evaluated using Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37RV strains. The most potent analog (6h) was further assessed using various drug-resistant M. tuberculosis strains. This report described the importance of benzimidazoles as new antitmycobacterial agents targeting both the M. tuberculosis H37RV as well as the drug-resistant-tuberculosis strains. The trifluoromethyl group which was essential for antimycobacterial activity was also highlighted. Graphical Abstract: Two series of benzimidazole derivatives and their antimycobacterial activities were evaluated using M. tuberculosis H37RV (MTB-H37RV) strains. Compound 6h was identified as the most potent among all synthesized compounds. The most potent analog was further assessed using various drug-resistant MTB strains. In addition, the trifluoromethyl was identified as an important substitution in giving good antimycobacterial effect. [InlineMediaObject not available: see fulltext.]
