Structure of 1,3-Dihydro-4-[(2R)-2,5-dihydro-2-furyl]-3-phenyl-l-(p-tolyl)-2H-imidazole- 2-thione, C20HlsN2OS

Mr=334.4, orthorhombic, P212~2 ~, a= 9.366(4), b=20.616(5), c=9.137(4)A, V= 1764 (1) A 3, Z = 4, D x = 1.26 Mg m -3, 2(Mo Ka) = 0.7107 A, g = 0.18 mm -~, F(000) = 704, T= 300 K, final R--0.056 (wR =0.052) for 1979 observed reflections [I > 2a(/)]. The furanose ring is approximately planar because of the double bond, 1.289 (9) A, which affects the conformation of the ring. The dihedral angle between the furanose and imidazole least-squares planes is 69.9 (2) °. A possible C--H...O hydrogen bond has been detected involving C and O atoms in the furanose ring, giving infinite helical chains along [001 ].
