1-{(E)-[3-(1H-Imidazol-1-yl)-1-(4-meth-oxy-phen-yl)propyl-idene]amino}-3-(2-methyl-phen-yl)urea

摘要

In the title compound, C21H23N5O2, the conformation about the imine bond [1.287?(3)??] is E. Overall, the mol-ecule has a disk shape, the dihedral angles between the imidazole ring and the meth-oxy-phenyl and methyl-phenyl rings being 49.42?(13) and 42.62?(13)°, respectively; the dihedral angle between the benzene rings is 20.11?(11)°. In the urea moiety, the N—H atoms are anti to each other and one of these forms an intra-molecular N—H?N hydrogen bond. In the crystal, centrosymmetric dimers are formed via N—H?N(imidazole) hydrogen bonds, which are connected into a three-dimensional architecture by C—H?O(carbon-yl) and (methyl-ene)C—H?π inter-actions. The crystal studied was a non-merohedral twin with a minor component of 48.3?(1)%.
