organic compounds
The title compound, (4S,5R)-3,4-dimethyl-1-[(2R)-2-(1-naphthyl)-2-phenylacetyl]-5-phenylimidazolidin-2-one, C29H26N2O2, has two different aryl groups at the α-carbon which confer a stereogenic character on the site. The geometry of the molecule is stabilized by an intramolecular hydrogen bond linking the acetamide and imidazolidine groups, which gives a planar character to the core.
