Abstract
In the title compound, C18H17N3O·0.5C2H5OH, the dihedral angles between the central imidazole rings and the pendant benzene rings are 42.06 (15) and 2.01 (16)° in one asymmetric molecule and 47.91 (15) and 7.31 (14)° in the other. An intramolecular N—H⋯O hydrogen bond occurs in each imidazole molecule. In the crystal, the components are connected by O—H⋯N, N—H⋯O, C—H⋯O and N—H⋯N hydrogen bonds. Weak aromatic π–π interactions also occur [shortest centroid–centroid distance = 3.684 (3) Å].
