title: 1-[2-(2,6-Dichloro-benz-yloxy)-2-(2-fur-yl)eth-yl]-1H-benzimidazole.
abstract: In the mol-ecule of the title compound, C(20)H(16)Cl(2)N(2)O(2), the planar benzimidazole ring system is oriented with respect to the furan and dichloro-benzene rings at dihedral angles of 53.39 (6) and 31.04 (5)°, respectively. In the crystal structure, inter-molecular C-H⋯Cl hydrogen bonds link the mol-ecules 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 benz-imidazole and dichloro-benzene ring systems [centroid-centroid distances = 3.505 (1), 3.567 (1), 3.505 (1) and 3.567 (1) Å].
