Abstract

2H-Imidazole derivative 5 has been synthesized and characterized by the X-ray diffraction (XRD) method. The compound crystallizes in the monoclinic space group Cc with cell parameters a = 19.398(1), b = 8.890(1), c = 10.247(1), β = 110.76(1), Z = 4. The molecules are inter-linked through C–H⋅sO and C–H⋅sπ interactions forming infinite chains.
