(2E)-3-[4-(1H-Benzimidazol-2-ylmethoxy)phenyl]-1-(4-methoxyphenyl) -prop-2-en-1-one

Abstract

In the title compound, C24H20N2O 3, the mean plane of the benzimidazole unit makes dihedral angles of 79.88 (11) and 85.44 (12)° with the benzene and 4-methoxybenzene rings, respectively. The benzene and 4-methoxybenzene rings maske a dihedral angle of 16.10 (14)°. A pair of intermolecular N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds connects adjacent molecules into an inversion dimer, generating an R22(26) ring motif. The crystal structure is further stabilized by C-H⋯π interactions.
