2-Eth-oxy-6-{[1-(3-eth-oxy-2-hy-droxy-benz-yl)-1H-benzimidazol-2-yl]meth-yl}phenol nitro-methane monosolvate.
In the title solvate, C(24)H(24)N(2)O(4)·CH(3)NO(2), the benzene ring of the 2-eth-oxy-6-methyl-phenol substituent is approximately perpendicular to the nearly planar benzimidazole ring [maximum deviation = 0.021 (2) Å], making a dihedral angle of 84.32 (7)°. The benzene ring of the 2-eth-oxy-phenol group is somewhat inclined to the benzimidazole ring plane by 28.03 (5)°. The dihedral angle between the benzene rings is 82.20 (9)°. The compound reveals strong intra-molecular O-H⋯N and O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds, forming six- and five-membered rings, respectively. In the crystal, mol-ecules are connected by bifurcated O-H⋯(O,O) hydrogen bonds, forming chains along the b axis.
