The asymmetric unit of the title compound, C20H22N4O3, comprises two independent molecules (A and B) with markedly different conformations as the C—H bonds of the imidazole rings point in opposite directions. In the crystal, C—H...N hydrogen bonds form chains of molecules extending along the b-axis direction, while C—H...O hydrogen bonds form zigzag chains along a. Additional intermolecular N...; O...π(ring) contacts form parallel chains of like molecules along a. The structure was refined as a two-component twin.
