The mixture of isomeric 1-butyl-5/6-chloro-2-methyl-1H-benzo[d]imidazoles have been obtained from the butylation reacton of 5-chloro-2-methyl-1H-benzo[d]imidazole. Crystallization of hydrochlorides of product compounds resulted in monohydrated cocrystal of the isomers, structure of which have been determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. As well as the synthesized compounds and their hydrochlorides have been structurally characterized by 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopy. The crystallographic study of 1-butyl-5/6-chloro-2-methyl-1H-benzo[d]imidazoles hydrochloride monohydrate was revealed disordering the butyl part. The Hirshfeld surface analysis revealed the most contribution in the crystal packing have H∙∙∙H (50.1%) and Cl∙∙∙H/H∙∙∙Cl (32.0%) interactions.
