title: N-(Imidazol-1-ylmeth-yl)phthalimide.
abstract: THE TITLE COMPOUND [SYSTEMATIC NAME: 2-(imidazol-1-ylmeth-yl)isoindole-1,3-dione], C(12)H(9)N(3)O(2), was prepared by reaction of N-(bromo-meth-yl)phthalimide and imidazole in chloro-form solution. The crystal structure is stabilized by weak inter-molecular C-H⋯π inter-actions and inter-molecular π-π inter-actions with centroid-centroid distances in the range 3.6469 (8)-3.8831 (9) Å.
