1-[(2S)-1-Chloro-3-phenyl-propan-2-yl]-2,4,5-triphenyl-1H-imidazole.

In the title compound, C(30)H(25)ClN(2), the chiral center maintains the S configuration of the stating l-phenyl-alaninol. The two phenyl groups closest to the substituted N atom adopt an almost perpendicular orientation relative to the central imidazole ring, with dihedral angles of 88.9 (4) and 84.7 (3)°. The third phenyl group is nearly coplanar with it, making a dihedral angle of 11.0 (5)°.

Geometry. All e.s.d.'s (except the e.s.d. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of e.s.d.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between e.s.d.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell e.s.d.'s is used for estimating e.s.d.'s involving l.s. planes.

Refinement. Refinement of F2 against ALL reflections. The weighted R-factor wR and goodness of fit S are based on F2, conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F2. The threshold expression of F2 > σ(F2) is used only for calculating R-factors(gt) etc. and is not relevant to the choice of reflections for refinement. R-factors based on F2 are statistically about twice as large as those based on F, and R- factors based on ALL data will be even larger.
