In the title molecule, C22H20N2O4, the dihedral angles between the benzimidazole ring system and the benzene rings are 44.26 (2) and 82.91 (2)°. Intramolecular O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds occur. In the crystal, O—H⋯N and O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds connect the molecules into a two-dimension network parallel to (10) and weak intermolecular C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds complete the formation of a three-dimensional network.

3-Methoxy-4-hydroxyphenyl formaldehyde (10 mmol) and 1,2-diaminobenzene(5 mmol) were mixed in hot water (333 K), the resulting mixture was stirred and refluxed for 3 h at 333 K. The solution was filtered, and the resulting yellow precipitate was recystallized from methanol to obtain pure product. Yellow crystals suitable for an X-ray diffraction study were obtained by slow evaporation of methanol and dimethyl sulfoxide (1:1 v/v) for two months.
All H atoms were placed in idealized positions [C—H(methylene)= 0.97 Å, C—H(methyl)= 0.96 Å and C—H(aromatic)= 0.93 Å] and included in the
in a riding-motion approximation, with Uiso(H)=1.5Ueq (methyl C) and Uiso(H)=1.2Ueq (methylene and aromatic C). Hydrogen atoms bonded to oxygen atoms were located in a difference map and refined freely with Uiso(H)= 1.5Ueq(O).Data collection: SMART (Bruker, 2001); cell

Geometry. All e.s.d.'s (except the e.s.d. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of e.s.d.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between e.s.d.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell e.s.d.'s is used for estimating e.s.d.'s 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 > σ(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. |

Benzimidazole is a common species in biological and biochemical structures (Sundberg et al., 1977; Santoro et al., 2000). Many benzimidazole derivatives have already been reported (e.g. Liu et al., 2003; Li et al., 2005; Xi et al., 2006) and the preparation of the title compound, (I), is part of our effort to contribute to this research. Herein we report the crystal structure of (I).
In the molecule (Fig. 1) the dihedral angles between the benzimidazole ring system and the benzene rings are [C8-C13] 44.26 (2)° and [C16-C21] 82.91 (2)°. All bond lengths and bond angles are as expected. In the crystal, (Fig.2) molecules are linked by O—H···N and O—H···O and weak C—H···O hydrogen bonds to form a three-dimensional network.
