| Abstract: | The title compound (C18H26N6Cl2) crystallizes in monoclinic space group P21/c with a = 14.867(4) Å}, b = 7.758(2) Å}, c = 9.671(3) Å},  = 108.78(1) , V = 1056.0(5) Å}3, Z = 2, Dcal = 1.250 Mg/m3 at T = 293 K. The structure was solved by direct methods and refined by full-matrix least-squares procedures to final R = 0.0650 and wR = 0.1719 using 2493 reflections. The imidazole ring is planar and the n-butyl chain adopts an extended conformation. The molecules in the crystal are stabilized by N–H  s N type of intermolecular hydrogen bondings in addition to van der Waals forces. |
