4,5-Dimethyl-2-phenyl-1-(p-tol­yl)-1H-imidazole

Abstract

In the title compound, C18H18N2, the imidazole ring is essentially planar [maximum deviation = 0.004 (1) Å] and makes dihedral angles of 68.91 (8) and 20.43 (9)° with the tolyl and phenyl rings, respectively. The dihedral angle between the latter rings is 73.62 (8)°. The crystal packing is stabilized by inter­molecular C—H⋯N hydrogen bonds
