4-Benzyl-6-bromo-2-(4-chlorophenyl)-4H-imidazo[4,5-b]pyridine

Abstract

In the title compound, C19H13BrClN3, the chlorophenyl ring occupies an equatorial position with respect to the mean plane of the imidazopyridine unit, while the other phenyl ring is twisted by 4.1 (2)° with respect to the mean plane of the imidazopyridine unit. In the crystal, pairwise C—H...Br interactions link the molecules into dimers, forming anR22(16) ring motif. In addition, weak π–π stacking interactions stabilize the crystal packing.
