1‐Dehydroabietyl‐4,5‐diphenyl‐1H‐imidazole

The title compound [systematic name: 1-(7-isopropyl-1,4a-dimethyl-1,2,3,4,4a,9,10,10a-octa­hydro­phenanthren-1-ylmeth­yl)-4,5-diphenyl-1H-imidazole], C35H40N2, was obtained via the one-pot three-component condensation of benzil, formaldehyde and dehydro­abietylamine, which is a fungal toxin. The two substituent phenyl groups and the imidazole ring form a conjugated system. The dihedral angles between the imidazole ring and the phenyl rings are 70.18 (9) and 12.77 (12)°. In the crystal structure, there are one intra­molecular and two inter­molecular hydrogen-bonding C—H⋯π contacts. Furthermore, a weak C—H⋯N intra­molecular hydrogen bond is observed.
