Ethyl (E)-1-(2-styryl-1H-benzimidazol-1-yl)acetate

X. Fu and G. Xu

Abstract: In the title compound, C₁₉H₁₈NO₂, the dihedral angle between the benzimidazole and phenyl ring planes is 18.18 (17)°. The atoms of the ethyl side chain are disordered over two sets of sites in a 0.50:0.50 ratio. In the crystal, intermolecular C-HO hydrogen bonds and C-H contacts help to consolidate the packing.
