Ethyl 2-[4-(di­methyl­amino)­phen­yl]-1-phenyl-1H-benzimidazole-5-carboxyl­ate

In the title compound, C₂₄H₂₃N₃O₂, the benzimidazole ring system makes dihedral angles of 7.28 (5) and 67.17 (5)°, respectively, with the planes of the benzene and phenyl rings, which in turn make a dihedral angle of 69.77 (6)°. In the crystal, mol­ecules are connected by C—H...N and C—H...O inter­actions, forming a layer parallel to the bc plane. A π–π inter­action, with a centroid–centroid distance of 3.656 (1) Å, is observed in the layer.
