1-Allyl-3-benzyl-1H-benzimidazol-2(3H)-one.

In the title compound, C17H16N2O, the fused benzimidazol-2(3H)-one system is essentially planar, the largest deviation from the mean plane being 0.006 (2) Å for the carbonyl C atom. Its mean plane is almost perpendicular to the benzyl plane and to the allyl group, making dihedral angles of 80.6 (1) and 77.4 (3)°, respectively. The benzyl group and the allyl subsituent lie on opposite sides of the fused ring system. In the crystal, mol-ecules are linked by bifurcated C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds in which the carbonyl O atom acts as accepter to two aromatic C-H groups, forming a two-dimensional network parallel to (001).

Geometry. All s.u.'s (except the s.u. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell s.u.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of s.u.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between s.u.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell s.u.'s is used for estimating s.u.'s involving l.s. planes.

Refinement. Refinement of F2 against all reflections. The weighted R-factor wR and goodness of fit S are based on F2, conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F2. The threshold expression of F2 > σ(F2) is used only for calculating R-factors(gt) etc. and is not relevant to the choice of reflections for refinement. R-factors based on F2 are statistically about twice as large as those based on F, and R- factors based on all data will be even larger.
