2-(1H-Benzimidazol-1-Yl)-1-Phenyl­Ethanone

Abstract

In the mol­ecule of the title compound, C15H12N2O, the planar benzimidazole system is oriented at a dihedral angle of 80.43 (5)° with respect to the phenyl ring. In the crystal structure, non-classical inter­molecular C—H⋯N and C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds link the mol­ecules into layers parallel to the ab plane.
