In the title compound, C26H24N2O2, the two phenyl and the 2,5-di-meth-oxy-phen-yl rings are inclined to the imidazole ring at dihedral angles of 30.38 (8), 56.59 (9) and 73.11 (9)°, respectively. In the crystal, mol-ecules are linked by pairs of C-H⋯O inter-actions into centrosymmetric dimers with graph-set notation R 2 (2)(8). C-H⋯π inter-actions are also observed.
