2-(1H-Benzimidazol-1-yl)-1-(2-fur-yl)ethanone O-ethyl-oxime

In the mol-ecule of the title compound, C15H15N 3O2, the planar benzimidazole ring system [maximum deviation = 0.023 (2) Å] is oriented at a dihedral angle of 74.21 (5)° with respect to the furan ring. In the crystal structure, inter-molecular C - H?N inter-actions link the mol-ecules into centrosymmetric R 2 2(18) dimers. In addition, the structure is stabilized by ?-? contacts between parallel imidazole rings [centroid-centroid distance = 3.726 (1) Å] and a weak C - H?? inter-action. © 2009
