Synthesis, Crystal Structure, and Characterization of New 2,4,5-Triphenyl Imidazole: 4,5-Diphenyl-2-(3,4,5-trimethoxyphenyl)-1H-imidazole

Abstract

The substituted triarylimidazole, C24H22N2O3, was prepared from the three-component one-pot condensation reaction and the product was crystallized by using dimethylformamide. The structure of the compound was confirmed by elemental analysis, FT-IR, thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), UV-Visible and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The compound crystallizes in the monoclinic crystal system in the space group P21/c with unit cell parameters a = 10.509(3) Å, b = 18.748(5) Å, c = 22.016(6) Å, β = 90.844(5)°, and Z = 8. The crystal structure of the compound was stabilized by the inter-molecular interactions of types N–H⋅⋅⋅N, C–H⋅⋅⋅O, and C–H⋅⋅⋅N, and intra-molecular interactions of the type C–H⋅⋅⋅O. The structure also involves C–H⋅⋅⋅π interactions.
