H.-Q. Xiao, M.-Z. Zhang and W. Wang

Abstract: The molecule of the title compound, C₁₅H₁₄N₂O₂ is almost planar, the dihedral angle between the 6-methyl-1H-benzimidazole plane and the 2-methoxyphenol plane being 6.9 (2)°. An intramolecular O-HN hydrogen bond is present. Adjacent molecules are linked by N-HO hydrogen bonds into a three-dimensional network structure. The benzoimidazole methyl group and its attached C atom are positionally disordered in a 0.724 (4):0.276 (4) ratio.
