Darstellung, Eigenschaften und Kristallstruktur der N-[2-(4.5.6.7-Tetrahydro-2-benzimidazolyl)-ethyl] -phthalamidsäure / Preparation, Properties and Crystal Structure of N-[2-(4.5.6.7-Tetrahydro-2-benzimidazolyl)-ethyl]-phthalamic Acid

Abstract

Abstract During syntheses using the phthalimide rest in liquid, ethanolic or aqueous ammonia, phthalamides, phthalimides or phthalamic acids are formed depending on reaction condi-tions and work-up. As demonstrated by the synthesis of the title compound via hydrolysis of 4 with aqueous ammonia, dipolar ions of phthalamic acids are obtained if the phthal-imide-N substituent is sufficiently basic. The crystal structure of 5 • 4H2O has been determined and refined until R = 0.0878. It shows a vast system of hydrogen bonds.
