Summary: | In the molecule of the title compound, C16H17N3O2, the planar benzimidazole ring system [maximum deviation = 0.013 (1) Å] is oriented at a dihedral angle of 75.32 (4)° with respect to the furan ring. An intramolecular C—H...O interaction results in the formation of a planar six-membered ring [maximum deviation = 0.019 (15) Å], which is oriented at a dihedral angle of 1.91 (3)° with respect to the adjacent furan ring. In the crystal structure, intermolecular C—H...N interactions link the molecules into centrosymmetric R22(18) dimers. In addition, the structure is stabilized by π–π contacts between the imidazole rings [centroid–centroid distance = 3.5307 (8) Å] and weak C—H...π interactions.
