In the title imidazole derivative, C13H12N4O, the two heterocyclic rings are almost coplanar [dihedral angle = 0.9 (2)°]. The phenyl ring, however, is almost perpendicular to the central ring [dihedral angle = 75.8 (2)°]. The crystal packing is consolidated by weak C - H⋯N inter-actions. © Inter...
