, the conformation about the imine bond [1.287 (3) Å] is
E
. Overall, the molecule has a disk shape, the dihedral angles between the imidazole ring and the methoxyphenyl and methylphenyl 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 intramolecular 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(carbonyl) and (methylene)C—H⋯π interactions. The crystal studied was a non-merohedral twin with a minor component of 48.3 (1)%.
