Abstract
In the title molecule, C(21)H(24)N(2)O(3), the imidazole ring is essentially planar, with a maxium deviation of 0.015 (1) angstrom. The dihedral angle between the benzene and imidazole rings is 65.47 (6)degrees. The crystal packing is stabilized by weak intermolecular C-H center dot center dot center dot O and C-H center dot center dot center dot N hydrogen bonds, forming zigzag chains along the c axis. The crystal structure is further stabilized by C-H center dot center dot center dot pi interactions.
