1-[2-(2,6-Dichloro­Benz­Yloxy)-2-(2-Fur­Yl)Eth­Yl]-1H-Benzimidazole

Abstract

In the mol­ecule of the title compound, C20H16Cl2N2O2, the planar benzimidazole ring system is oriented with respect to the furan and dichloro­benzene rings at dihedral angles of 53.39 (6) and 31.04 (5)°, respectively. In the crystal structure, inter­molecular C—H⋯Cl hydrogen bonds link the mol­ecules into centrosymmetric R 2 2(8) dimers. These dimers are connected via a C—H⋯π contact between the benzimidazole and the furan rings, and π–π contacts between the benz­imidazole and dichloro­benzene ring systems [centroid–centroid distances = 3.505 (1), 3.567 (1), 3.505 (1) and 3.567 (1) Å].
