Molecules of the title compound, C~10~H~12~N~2~OS, are interconnected by N—H...O hydrogen bonds of moderate strength into infinite chains. There are also intramolecular O—H...N bonds of moderate length. Weaker interactions are represented by C—H...N bonds as well as by π–π interactions between the i

✦ Synopsis
In the molecule of the title compound, C 10 H 10 N 2 O 2 S, the benzimidazole ring system and the plane through the non-H atoms of the methyl mercaptoacetate group form a dihedral angle of 81.75 (1) . The crystal structure is stabilized by N-HÁ Á ÁN hydrogen bonds, giving infinite chains along the [001] direction. Data collection: COLLECT (Nonius, 2001); cell refinement: DENZO (Otwinowski & Minor, 1997) and SORTAV (Blessing, 1995); data reduction: DENZO and SORTAV; program(s) used to solve structure: SIR92 (Altomare et al., 1994); program(s) used to refine structure: CRYSTALS (Betteridge et al., 2003); molecular graphics: ORTEP3 (Farrugia, 1997) and PLATON (Spek, 2003); software used to prepare material for publication: CRYSTALS.
