%X In the title compound, C23H22N4O4, the essentially planar [maximum deviation = 0.022 (1)  ] benzimidazole ring system forms dihedral angles of 86.16 (7) and 37.38 (6)¡ã, respectively, with the imidazole and benzene rings. The dioxolane ring adopts an envelope conformation with the methylene C atom at the flap. In the crystal, C¡ªH...O and C¡ªH...N interactions link the molecules into a ribbon along the a axis. The crystal packing is further stabilized by weak ¦Ð¨C¦Ð stacking interactions [centroid¨Ccentroid distances = 3.5954 (8) and 3.7134 (8)  ] and C¡ªH...¦Ð interactions.
