Abstract: In the molecule of the title compound, C₁₆H₁₇N₃O₂, the planar benzimidazole ring system [maximum deviation = 0.013 (1) Å] is oriented at a dihedral angle of 75.32 (4)° with respect to the furan ring. An intramolecular C-HO interaction results in the formation of a planar six-membered ring [maximum deviation = 0.019 (15) Å], which is oriented at a dihedral angle of 1.91 (3)° with respect to the adjacent furan ring. In the crystal structure, intermolecular C-HN interactions link the molecules into centrosymmetric R₂²(18) dimers. In addition, the structure is stabilized by - contacts between the imidazole rings [centroid-centroid distance = 3.5307 (8) Å] and weak C-H interactions.
