It may bc mentioned here that the com pounds 2as,2a6,2bs & 2b 6 are not reported in literature. They
have, however, been adeq uately cha racte ri zed by their elemental analysis and ·H NMR data. The ·H
NMR of thcse compounds is as follows:
2a4 - (in 8) 7.1 -8.0 (Complex m, 10H, four aryl proto ns of thc benzimidazole ring. four aryl protons
of the p-f1uorophenyl ring and two protons of the et hylenic part.), 10.4 (broad s, I H, -NH)
2as - (in 8) 7.3-8.0 (Complex m, 8H, four aryl protons of the benzimidazole ring and four protons
of the a-ch iaro-phenyl ring), 8. 18 (d, I H, J = 18Hz) and 8.58 (d, 1H, J=18Hz)(Trans ethylenic pro-
tons), 10.3 (broad s, I H, -NH)
2b4 - (in 8) 4.2 (s,3 H, -N-CH 3), 7.0-8.2 (Complex m, IOH, four aryl protons of the benzimidazole
ring, four ary l protons of the p-f1uorophenyl ring and two protons of the ethylenic moiety)
2bs - (in 8) 4.2 (s, 3H, -N-CH 3), 7.2-8.3 (Complex m, 10H, four aryl protons of the benzimidazole
ring, four aryl protons of the p-f1uorophenyl ring and two protons of the ethylenic link).
