title: Prop-2-en-1-yl 4-(4,5-diphenyl-1H-imidazol-2-yl)benzoate.
abstract: The title compound, C25H20N2O2, crystallized with two mol-ecules in the asymmetric unit, in one of which the atoms of the terminal propenyl group are disordered over two sets of sites, with a refined occupancy ratio of 0.870 (4):0.130 (4). The central imidazole ring makes dihedral angles of 25.51 (11), 40.73 (11) and 27.36 (11)° with the three pendant rings in one molecule and 22.56 (10), 60.72 (10) and 5.85 (10)° in the other. In the crystal, mol-ecules are linked by N-H⋯N and C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds, forming a three-dimensional network. The crystal structure also features C-H⋯π inter-actions and π-π stacking [centroid-centroid distances = 3.8834 (18) and 3.9621 (17) Å] inter-actions.
