title: 1H-Benzimidazol-2-ylmethyl phenyl ether.
abstract: There are two mol-ecules in the asymmetric unit of the title compound, C(14)H(10)N(2)O: the dihedral angles between their aromatic ring planes are 47.4 (4) and 46.8 (3)°. In the crystal structure, mol-ecules are linked by N-H⋯N hydrogen bonds from the secondary nitro-gen N-H donor to the tertiary N-atom acceptor of a symmetry-related neighbour, resulting in hydrogen-bonded chains. The two independent chains both propagate in [100].
