13dihydro2Hbenzimidazol2one

13dihydro2Hbenzocycloheptene is a chemical compound with the molecular formula C12H14. It is a bicyclic hydrocarbon consisting of a benzene ring fused to a seven-membered cycloheptene ring. The "13dihydro" indicates that the cycloheptene ring is saturated at the 1 and 3 positions. The "2H" signifies that there is a saturated carbon atom at the 2 position, meaning it has two hydrogen atoms attached, contributing to the dihydro nature of the seven-membered ring.

This compound is a derivative of benzocycloheptene, where the double bond in the cycloheptene ring has been reduced. The structure can be visualized as a benzene ring with a seven-membered ring attached to two adjacent carbon atoms of the benzene. The fusion creates a rigid structure.

13dihydro2Hbenzocycloheptene and its derivatives can be found in various chemical syntheses and as potential building blocks for more complex organic molecules. Its specific properties and reactivity are influenced by the fused ring system and the presence of the saturated portions of the cycloheptene ring. Information on its widespread commercial or biological significance is limited, suggesting it is primarily of interest in organic chemistry research. Further investigation into its spectroscopic properties, such as NMR and IR, would be necessary for its definitive characterization.
