title: 2-(2-Benzyl-oxyphen-yl)-1H-benzimid-azole.
abstract: The asymmetric unit of the title compound, C(20)H(16)N(2)O, contains two mol-ecules. The dihedral angles between the benzimidazole ring systems and the attached benzene rings are 10.6 (5) and 13.7 (5)°. The conformers are linked by bifurcated three-centre hydrogen bonds, forming chains along the diagonal of the ab plane. The packing is further stabilized by π-π and C-H⋯π inter-actions.
