title: 1-[(4-tert-Butyl-phen-yl)sulfon-yl]-1H-benzimidazole.
abstract: The title compound, C(17)H(18)N(2)O(2)S, was synthesized by aryl-sulfonyl-ation of 1-hy-droxy-methyl-1H-benzimidazole in the presence of triethyl-amine. The benzimidazole and benzene rings form a dihedral angle of 84.1 (1)°. The tert-butyl group was treated as rotationally disordered over two orientations in a 0.51 (2):0.49 (2) ratio. In the crystal, weak inter-molecular C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds link the mol-ecules into chains propagating in [010].
