Abstract :
The title compound, C24H21ClN2O, crystallizes with two unique molecules in the asymmetric unit. In each molecule, the central imidazole ring is substituted at the 2-, 4- and 5-positions by benzene rings. The 2-substituted ring carries a Cl atom at the 4-position. One of the imidazole N atoms in each molecule has a propan-2-ol substituent. In the crystal, a series of O—H⋯N, C—H⋯O and C—H⋯Cl hydrogen bonds, augmented by several C—H⋯π(ring) interactions, generate a three-dimensional network of molecules stacked along the a-axis direction.
