In the title compound, C18H17FN2O, all bond lengths and angles show normal values. The mean plane of pyrazoline ring makes dihedral angles of 83.33 (9) and 17.03 (9)° with the benzene rings; the two benzene rings make a dihedral angle of 76.01 (5)°. The H atoms of both methyl groups are disordered over two positions by rotation about their C—C σ bonds, with occupancies of 0.52 (3) and 0.48 (3) for the methyl of the tolyl group, and 0.62 (2) and 0.38 (2) for the methyl belonging to the acetyl group. Weak inter­molecular C—H...F hydrogen bonds connect mol­ecules into centrosymmetric dimers in the crystal structure.

Comment top

Pyrazoline and its derivatives are important and useful five-membered heterocyclic compounds, which possess antiviral (Rawal et al., 1963), antifungal (Dhal et al., 1975), and immunosuppressive (Lombardino & Otterness, 1981) activities. 1-Acetyl-3,5-diaryl-2-pyrazoline have also been found to inhibit the monoamine oxidases (Manna et al., 2002). As part of our ongoing investigations on pyrazolines and their metal complexes, we report here the crystal structure of the title compound, (I).

In the structure of (I) (Fig. 1), all bond lengths and angles fall in the normal ranges (Fahrni et al., 2003; Kimura et al., 1977; Guo et al., 2007; Jian et al., 2006). The dihedral angles formed by pyrazolinyl ring with aromatic groups at positions 3 and 5 are 17.03 (1) and 83.33 (2)°, respectively. A weak C—H···F hydrogen bond stabilizes the crystal structure of (I), forming centrosymmetric dimers in the cell.

Experimental top

1-(p-Methylphenyl)-3-(p-fluorophenyl)-2-propenyl-1-ketone (0.02 mol) and hydrazine (0.02 mol) were mixed in 99.5% acetic acid (40 ml) and refluxed for 6 h. Then, the mixture was poured into ice–water to afford colourless solids. The solids were filtrated and washed with water, until the pH of the solution reached 7.0. Finally, the solid product was dried at room temperature. Single crystals of the title compound suitable for X-ray measurements were obtained by recrystallization from EtOH at room temperature.

Refinement top

In the case of methyl groups, a difference map revealed that H atoms are disordered over two positions, by rotation about the C—C bonds. In the last refinement cycles, corresponding H positions were regularized, with C—H bond lengths set to 0.96 Å. Site occupation factors of H atoms were refined to 0.52 (3)/0.48 (3) for the methyl of the tolyl group and 0.62 (2)/0.38 (2) for the methyl belonging to the acetyl group. Other H atoms were placed geometrically and allowed to ride on their parent atoms, with C—H distances set to 0.93 (aromatic CH), 0.97 (methylene CH2) and 0.98 Å (methine CH). In all cases, isotropic displacement parameters for H atoms were set to Uiso(H) = xUeq(carrier C atom), with x = 1.5 for methyl groups and x = 1.2 otherwise.
