2-(4-Methoxy-phen-yl)-4,5-dihydro-1H-imidazole.

In the title mol-ecule, C(10)H(12)N(2)O, the dihedral angle between the benzene and imidazole rings is 14.86 (16)°. The approximately planar arrangement of the mol-ecule results in a distance of 2.54 Å between an ortho-H atom of the benzene ring and the double-bonded N atom of the imidazole ring. In the crystal structure, symmetry-related mol-ecules are linked by inter-molecular N-H⋯N hydrogen bonds into one-dimensional chains extending along the a axis.
