2-(4-Meth­oxy­phen­yl)-1-pentyl-4,5-di­phenyl-1H-imidazole

The title compound, C₂₇H₂₈N₂O, is a lophine (2,4,5-triphenyl-1H-imidazole) derivative with an n-pentyl chain on the amine N atom and a 4-meth­oxy substituent on the benzene ring. The two phenyl and meth­oxy­benzene rings are inclined to the imidazole ring at angles of 25.32 (7), 76.79 (5) and 35.42 (7)°, respectively, while the meth­oxy substituent lies close to the plane of its benzene ring, with a maximum deviation of 0.126 (3) Å for the meth­oxy C atom. In the crystal, inversion dimers linked by pairs of C—H...O hydrogen bonds generate R₂²(22) loops. These dimers are stacked along the a-axis direction.
