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—H⋯O hydrogen bonds and C—H⋯π contacts help to consolidate the packing.

The synthesis of (E)-2-styryl-1H-benzimidazole was reported previously (Hang & Ye, 2008). Ethyl 2-bromoacetate (1.65 g. 10 mmol) was added to a solution of (E)-2-styryl-1H-benzo[d]imidazole (2.2 g,10 mmol) and NaH (0.6 g, 26 mmol) in THF (30 ml). After the mixture was stirred for 12 h at room temperature, the precipitate was filtered off and the solution was evaporated in vacuum. The crude product was then crystallized from ethanol to yield colourless prisms of (I).
Anomalous dispersion was negligible and Friedel pairs were merged before refimenent. The positional parameters of all the H atoms were calculated geometrically and refined as riding with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C,N) or 1.5Ueq(methyl C).

Geometry. All esds (except the esd in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell esds are taken into account individually in the estimation of esds in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between esds in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell esds is used for estimating esds involving l.s. planes. |
Refinement. Refinement of F2 against ALL reflections. The weighted R-factor wR and goodness of fit S are based on F2, conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F2. The threshold expression of F2 > 2sigma(F2) is used only for calculating R-factors(gt) etc. and is not relevant to the choice of reflections for refinement. R-factors based on F2 are statistically about twice as large as those based on F, and R- factors based on ALL data will be even larger. |

The benzimidazole ring system is of great interest because of its diverse biological activities while the synthesis and crystal structure analyses of several benzimidazoles have already been reported (Göker et al., 1999; Özbey et al., 1998).
In the structure of the title compound (Fig. 1), the benzimidazole system is essentially planar (dihedral angle 1.17 (2)°). The dihedral angle between the benzimidazole and styryl groups is 17.78 (1)°. The molecule is twisted with the N1—C4—C3—O1 torsion angle of 13.61 (4)° between the ethyl acetate and benzimidazole groups.
In the crystal, intermolecular C—H···O hydrogen bonds (Fig.2) link the molecules to chains along the b axis. In addition the C—H···π contacts (Table 1) further stabilize the crystal structure.
