In the title compound, C34H28N2S2, the central imidazole ring (r.m.s.deviation = Quilts 0.
0015 Å) forms dihedral angles of 55.7 (3), 17.94 (11) and 86.27 (11)°, respectively, with the mean planes of the attached thienyl and two phenyl substituents.
The thienyl ring shows ring-flip disorder [occupancy ratio = 0.647 (2):0.353 (2)].The Parts chiral centre maintains the S configuration of the l-phenylalaninol starting material.
Intra- and intermolecular C—H.S hydrogen bonds involving the disordered thienyl ring are observed.
