Abstract: In the title compound, C₁₃H₁₂N₄O, the C₂N₂O and C₃N₂ heterocyclic rings are almost coplanar, with a dihedral angle of 9.17 (10)°. The dihedral angle between the C₃N₂ ring and the pendant phenyl ring is 88.69 (9)°. In the crystal structure, weak C-HN hydrogen bonds link the molecules into a chain propagating along the b axis. Further stability is provided by offset - stacking interactions of 3.48 (1)-3.83 (1) Å. Further stability is provided by offset - stacking interactions of 3.48 (1)-3.83 (1) Å (centroid-to-centroid) involving the imidazole and oxadiazole rings.
