Crystal structure of 4-1-(2-hy­droxy­prop­yl)-45-diphenyl-1H-imidazol-2-ylbenzoic acid

摘要

In the title compound, C25H22N2O3, the central imidazole ring makes dihedral angles of 48.43 (10), 20.23 (10) and 75.38 (11)° with the benzene ring and the two phenyl rings, respectively. The phenyl ring adjacent to the N-bonded 2-hy­droxy­propyl group shows the greatest twist, presumably to minimize steric inter­actions. In the crystal, mol­ecules are linked by O—H⋯N, O—H⋯O and C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds, forming a three-dimensional network. In addition, C—H⋯π inter­actions are also observed.
