**2.7 Synthesis of 1-(3,5-dimethoxyphenyl)-2-(4-fluorophenyl)-4,5-dimethyl-1***H***imidazole (C19H19FN2O2): DMOPFPDMI**

Pure butane-2,3-dione in 10 ml of ethanol, 3,5-dimethoxyaniline, ammonium acetate, and 4-fluorobenzaldehyde were added in 15 mmol increments over an hour at a constant temperature of 333 K. The remaining actions were completed by the guidelines in DMDPIMH. 2.20 g or 45% of the total were yielded (**Figure 1**). Crystals suitable for X-ray diffraction measurements were made using dichloromethane as a slow solvent to evaporate [16].
