Abstract

Abstract The X-ray crystal structural analysis and energetically favoured conformation calculated by the MM2 method for the new, novel benzimidazole Reissert compound 1 are reported. A highly delocalized and very stable carbanion is interpreted by resonance structures. Interesting reactions of compound 1 are discussed.
