title: 1,3-Dibenzyl-2-(2-chloro-phen-yl)-4-methyl-imidazolidine.
abstract: In the title compound, C24H25ClN2, the methine, methyl-ene and methyl C atoms of the methyl-substituted imidazolidine ring are disordered over two sets of sites with a refined occupancy ratio of 0.834 (4):0.166 (4). Each disordered ring assumes an envelope conformation with an N atom as the flap. The pendant benzyl rings are oriented equatorially with respect to the imidazolidine ring. The chloro-phenyl ring is inclined to the mean plane of the four planar atoms of the major component of the imidazolidine ring by 76.27 (12)°. The dihedral angles between the chloro-phenyl ring and the two benzyl rings are 55.31 (9) and 57.50 (8)°; the dihedral angle between these latter rings is 71.59 (9)°. In the crystal, mol-ecules are linked by C-H⋯Cl inter-actions and a number of weak C-H⋯π inter-actions, involving all three aromatic rings, forming a three-dimensional structure.
