Structure description
Pyrazoles are an important class of five-membered nitrogen heterocycles, which are very widely used as synthetic scaffolds for the construction of bioactive molecules (Ajay et al., 2015). Apart from their synthetic utilities, pyrazole derivatives themselves exhibit a broad spectrum of biological activities (Farghaly et al., 2012). As part of our studies in this area, we herein report on the of the title compound.
The molecular structure of the title compound is shown in Fig. 1. The pyrazole ring (N1/N2/C1–C3) makes dihedral angles of 39.74 (8) and 60.35 (8)° with the phenyl (C8–C13) and the toluene (C14–C19) rings, respectively. The dihedral angle between the phenyl and toluene rings is 62.01 (7)°.
In the crystal, molecules are linked by C—H⋯π interactions, forming chains propagating along the a axis (Table 1 and Fig. 2).
Synthesis and crystallization
To a solution of (E)-ethyl 2-(4-methylbenzylidene)-3-oxobutanoate (0.01 mol), which was obtained by our earlier reported procedure (Naveen et al., 2016), and phenylhydrazine hydrochloride (0.01 mol) in ethyl alcohol (20 ml), 3–4 drops of piperidine were added. The mixture was refluxed on a water bath for 3 h. The progress of the reaction was monitored by TLC. After completion, the mixture was poured into ice-cold water and the solid separated was filtered, and washed with ice-cold water to obtain the crude title product. The solid obtained was crystallized from methanol by slow evaporation giving pale-yellow rectangular-shaped crystals (90% yield; m.p. 358–359 K).

Geometry. Bond distances, angles etc. have been calculated using the rounded fractional coordinates. All su's are estimated from the variances of the (full) variance-covariance matrix. The cell esds are taken into account in the estimation of distances, angles and torsion angles |
Refinement. Refinement on F2 for ALL reflections except those flagged by the user for potential systematic errors. Weighted R-factors wR and all goodnesses of fit S are based on F2, conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F2. The observed criterion of F2 > 2sigma(F2) is used only for calculating -R-factor-obs etc. and is not relevant to the choice of reflections for refinement. R-factors based on F2 are statistically about twice as large as those based on F, and R-factors based on ALL data will be even larger. |
