**2.3 Synthesis of 2-(4-fluorophenyl)-4,5-dimethyl-1-(4-methylphenyl)-1***H***imidazole (C18H17FN2): FPDMMPI**

For an hour, at a steady temperature of 333 K, 15 mmol of pure biacetyl in 10 ml of ethanol, 15 mmol of p-toluidine, 15 mmol of ammonium acetate, and 15 mmol of pfluorobenzaldehyde were added. The actions that follow are completed in the manner outlined in DMDPIMH. The yield was 1.93 g or 46% (**Figure 1**). A suitable single crystal was used to collect the X-ray diffraction data [12].
