The title compound, C21H14N4OS, was prepared from the reaction of N-[2-(1H-benzimidazol-2-ylthio)phenyl]N'-benzoylthiourea with dicyclohexylcarbodiimide. A puckered seven-membered ring and a short HH contact between two rings cause the whole molecule to be non-coplanar, even though the delocalized π-bonding system is planar. There is an intramolecular hydrogen bond between the amine H and the O atom of the carbonyl group.
