Abstract: In the molecule of the title compound, C₁₅H₁₂N₂O, the planar benzimidazole system is oriented at a dihedral angle of 80.43 (5)° with respect to the phenyl ring. In the crystal structure, non-classical intermolecular C-HN and C-HO hydrogen bonds link the molecules into layers parallel to the ab plane.
