The benzimidazole rings of the two mol­ecules make a dihedral angle of 66.65 (7)°. The nonyl substituents are almost perpendicular to the benzimidazole planes [C—N—C—C tosrsion angles = 96.0 (3) and 81.0 (2)°]. In the crystal, each independent molecule forms an inversion dimer via a pair of N—H[cdots, three dots, centered]O hydrogen bonds. In one of the independent molecules, the terminal –CH2–CH3 group of the alkyl chain is disordered over two sets of sites with a refined occupancy ratio of 0.746 (7):0.254 (7).
