2-Methoxy-6-(6-methyl-1H-benzimidazol-2-yl)phenol

In the title molecule, C15H14N2O2, the substituted benzene ring forms a dihedral angle of 4.15 (1)° with the benzimidazole ring system. An intramolecular O—H⋯N hydrogen bond generates an S(6) ring motif. In the solid state, molecules are linked into chains along the [001] via intermolecular bifurcated N—H⋯(O,O) hydrogen bonds, which generate R 1 2(5) ring motifs. The crystal packing is also consolidated by C—H⋯π interactions, and π–π stacking interactions between the imidazole and substituted benzene rings [centroid–centroid distance = 3.5746 (13) Å]. The methyl group attached to the benzimidazole ring system is disordered over two positions with occupancies of 0.587 (6) and 0.413 (6), suggesting 180° rotational disorder for the benzimidazole group.
