2-(3,4-DimethoxyphenyI)-4,5-diphenyl-1-(prop-2-en-1-yI)-1H-imidazole

In the title compound, C26H24N2O2, the planar 1H-imidazole ring makes dihedral angles of 35.78 (4), 26.35 (5)degrees and 69.75 (5), respectively, with the dimethoxyphenyl ring and the phenyl rings in the 4-and 5-positions. In the crystal, CH center dot center dot center dot O hydrogen bonds connect neighbouring molecules, forming infinite chains running along the b axis. Furthermore, the crystal structure exhibits a C-H-center dot center dot center dot 7r interaction between a methyl H atom and a phenyl ring from an adjacent molecule
