3-[2-(1H-1,3-Benzodiazol-2-yl)ethyl]-1,3-oxazolidin-2-one

Abstract

In the title compound, C12H13N3O2, the dihedral angle between the oxazolone ring and the benzimidazole unit is 45.0 (5)°, exhibiting a staggered conformation at the Cα—Cβ bond. In the crystal, a strong N—H...N hydrogen bond links the molecules into a C(4) chain along the c axis while a C—H...O hydrogen-bonding interaction generates a C(5) chain along the a axis, i.e. perpendicular to the other chain.
