Crystal structure of 1-[2-(2,6-di-chloro-phen-yl)-4,5-diphenyl-1H-imidazol-1-yl]propan-2-ol.

ABSTRACT: The central imidazole ring of the title compound, C24H20Cl2N2O, is twisted with respect to with the planes of the 2,6-di-chloro-benzene and two phenyl rings, making dihedral angles of 74.06?(18), 28.52?(17) and 67.65?(18)°, respectively. The phenyl ring not adjacent to the N-bonded 2-hy-droxy-propyl group shows the greatest twist, presumably to minimize steric inter-actions. In the crystal, mol-ecules are linked by O-H?N and C-H?O hydrogen-bond contacts into chains along the a-axis direction. The series of parallel chains form a two-dimensional sheet approximately parallel to the bc diagonal. In addition, C-H?? inter-actions are observed between the sheets. The atoms of the 2-hy-droxy-propyl group and the N atom of the 1H-imidazole ring to which it is bonded are disordered over two sets of sites, with an occupancy ratio of 0.722?(5):0.278?(5). The structure was refined as an inversion twin.
