Insight into the deprotonation at the half-equivalence point of (thio)amido-benzimidazoles in the presence of anions

Org Biomol Chem. 2017 Sep 13;15(35):7263-7266. doi: 10.1039/c7ob01704a.

Abstract

Three crystallographic structures highlight the acid-base half-equivalence point of hydrogen-bond donor (thio)amido-benzimidazoles induced by fluoride or benzoate salts with concomitant hydrogen-bonding and deprotonation as a merged synergic process.
