title: 2-Eth-oxy-6-[1-(3-eth-oxy-2-hy-droxy-benz-yl)-2,3-dihydro-1H-benzimidazol-2-yl]phenol acetonitrile monosolvate.
abstract: The title compound, C(24)H(24)N(2)O(4)·CH(3)CN, a disubstituted benzimidazole, crystallized as an acetonitrile monosolvate. The benzene ring of the 2-eth-oxy-6-methyl-phenol substiuent is approximately perpendicular to the nearly planar benzimidazole ring system [maximum deviation = 0.016 (1) Å], making a dihedral angle of 84.27 (8)°. The benzene ring of the 2-eth-oxy-phenol substituent is inclined to the benzimidazole mean plane by 29.68 (8)°. The dihedral angle between the benzene rings is 80.36 (9)°. In the mol-ecule, there are strong O-H⋯N and O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds. In the crystal, mol-ecules are connected by bifurcated O-H⋯(O,O) hydrogen bonds, forming chains propagating along [010].
