2,4,5-Triphenyl-1-(prop-2-en-1-yl)-1H-imidazole

Abstract

In the title compound, C24H20N2, one of the ring C atoms and one of the ring N atoms are disordered over two sets of sites in a 0.615 (3):0.385 (3) ratio. The two parts of the disordered imidazole ring adopt an envelope conformation, with the undisordered ring N atom as the flap, displaced by −0.118 (6) and 0.226 (7) Å, respectively, in the two disorder components from the plane through the other ring atoms. The crystal structure features C—H...N hydrogen bonds and C—H...π interactions, which lead to the formation of infinite chains along [010].
