1-{(E)-[3-(1H-Imidazol-1-yl)-1-(4-meth­oxy­phen­yl)propyl­idene]amino}-3-(2-methyl­phen­yl)urea

In the title compound, C(21)H(23)N(5)O(2), the conformation about the imine bond [1.287 (3) Å] is E. Overall, the mol­ecule has a disk shape, the dihedral angles between the imidazole ring and the meth­oxy­phenyl and methyl­phenyl rings being 49.42 (13) and 42.62 (13)°, respectively; the dihedral angle between the benzene rings is 20.11 (11)°. In the urea moiety, the N—H atoms are anti to each other and one of these forms an intra­molecular N—H⋯N hydrogen bond. In the crystal, centrosymmetric dimers are formed via N—H⋯N(imidazole) hydrogen bonds, which are connected into a three-dimensional architecture by C—H⋯O(carbon­yl) and (methyl­ene)C—H⋯π inter­actions. The crystal studied was a non-merohedral twin with a minor component of 48.3 (1)%.
