Crystal structure of 4-[1-(2-hy-droxy-prop-yl)-4,5-diphenyl-1H-imidazol-2-yl]benzoic acid.

ABSTRACT: 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-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, O-H⋯O and C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds, forming a three-dimensional network. In addition, C-H⋯π inter-actions are also observed.
