2-(1H-Benzimidazol-1-Yl)-1-(2-Fur­Yl)Ethanone O-Ethyl­Oxime

Abstract

In the mol­ecule of the title compound, C15H15N3O2, the planar benzimidazole ring system [maximum deviation = 0.023 (2) Å] is oriented at a dihedral angle of 74.21 (5)° with respect to the furan ring. In the crystal structure, inter­molecular C—H⋯N inter­actions link the mol­ecules into centrosymmetric R 2 2(18) dimers. In addition, the structure is stabilized by π–π contacts between parallel imidazole rings [centroid–centroid distance = 3.726 (1) Å] and a weak C—H⋯π inter­action.
