Abstract: The title compound, C₁₅H₁₃N₃O₂, was synthesized from 5-nitrobenzimidazole, 2-bromoethylbenzene and KOH in ethanol. The phenyl and benzimidazole ring systems are each planar and make a dihedral angle of 43.9  (1)°. The crystal structure is stabilized by weak intermolecular C-HN hydrogen-bond interactions.
