The reaction between 5-chloro-3-methyl-1-phenyl-1H-pyrazole-4-carbaldehyde and phenyl­hydrazine proceeds via con­den­sation to provide the title compound, C17H15ClN4, (I), rather than via the alternative routes of simple nucleophilic substitution or cyclo­condensation. With the exception of the phenyl group bonded directly to the pyrazole ring, the non-H atoms of (I) are nearly coplanar, with an r.m.s. deviation of 0.058 Å. The mol­ecules are linked into C(7) chains by a single N-H...N hydrogen bond, and the chains are linked by [pi]-[pi] stacking inter­actions to form sheets.

Introduction top

Pyrazole rings are present in numerous natural products, as well as in synthetic pharmacophores with biological activity, and the structural diversity and biological importance of pyrazole derivatives have made such compounds attractive targets for synthesis. Substituted 4-formyl­pyrazoles can be used as precursors in the synthesis of fused pyrazole systems, and it has been reported that nucleophilic displacement of chloro substituents by nucleophiles based on heteroatoms such as N, O or S can lead either to simple substitution or to intra­molecular cyclization (Kaushik et al., 2010; Maluleka & Mphahlele, 2013).

We report here the structure of (E)-1-[(5-Chloro-3-methyl-1-phenyl-1H-pyrazol-4-yl)methyl­idene]-2-phenyl­hydrazine, (I) (Fig. 1), which was prepared by the reaction between 5-chloro-3-methyl-1-phenyl-1H-pyrazole-4-carbaldehyde and phenyl­hydrazine, where the reaction turns out to involve straightforward condensation to form compound (I), rather than nucleophilic substitution to form a hydrazino­pyrazole (II) (see Scheme). No evidence was found for a cyclo­condensation reaction, involving both condensation and substitution, which would lead to the formation of the pyrazolo­[3,4-b]pyrazole derivative (III) (see Scheme). This observation is consistent with our previous observation (Díaz et al., 2010) of condensation rather than substitution in the reaction between 6-chloro-4-(4-chloro­phenyl)-3-methyl-1-phenyl-1H-pyrazolo­[3,4-b]pyridine-5-carbaldehyde and benzene-1,2-di­amine, whereas the reactions between amines and chloro­pyrimidine­carboxaldehydes reliably lead to substitution rather than condensation (Cobo et al., 2008; Trilleras et al., 2009).

Experimental top

Synthesis and crystallization top

A catalytic qu­antity of acetic acid was added to a solution of 5-chloro-3-methyl-1-phenyl-1H-pyrazole-4-carbaldehyde (221 mg, 1 mmol) and phenyl­hydrazine (108 mg, 1 mmol) in ethanol (5ml), and this mixture was then heated under reflux for 2 h. The solution was allowed to cool to ambient temperature and the resulting solid product, (I), was collected by filtration and washed with cold hexane (yield 63%, m.p. 452–455 K). MS (70 eV), m/z 310 (M+), 275, 193, 132, 91, 77, 69, 51, 41. Yellow crystals suitable for single-crystal X-ray diffraction were grown by slow evaporation, at ambient temperature and in the presence of air, of a solution in di­methyl­formamide–ethanol (3:7 v/v).

Refinement top

Crystal data, data collection and structure refinement details are summarized in Table 1. All H atoms were located in difference maps and then treated as riding atoms. H atoms bonded to C atoms were permitted to ride in geometrically idealized positions, with C—H = 0.95 (aromatic and alkenic) or 0.98 Å (methyl) and Uiso(H) = kUeq(C), where k = 1.5 for the methyl group, which was permitted to rotate but not to tilt, and 1.2 for the phenyl groups. The H atom bonded to atom N42 was permitted to ride at the location found in a difference map, with Uiso(H) = kUeq(N) (k = ???), giving the N—H distance shown in Table 3.

Results and discussion top

Within the pyrazole ring of compound (I), the N2—C3 and N1—C5 bond lengths differ by less than 0.04 Å (Table 2), despite the fact that these two bonds are formally double and single bonds, respectively; both these bonds are very significantly longer than the isolated N41C41 double bond. Similarly, the C3—C4 and C4—C5 distances differ by less than 0.06 Å, although these two bonds are formally single and double bonds, respectively. These observations point to the development of a significant degree of aromatic delocalization within the pyrazole ring.

Apart from the pendent phenyl ring (atoms C11–C16), the non-H atoms in the molecule of (I) do not deviate markedly from coplanarity; the maximum deviation from the mean plane of these atoms is exhibited by atom N42, whose deviation is 0.127 (2) Å, and the r.m.s. deviation is 0.058 Å. In addition, the dihedral angle between the planes of the pyrazole and terminal phenyl ring (atoms C421–C426) is only 1.9 (2)°, whereas that between the pyrazole and C11–C16 phenyl rings is 48.5 (2)°. The nonplanarity, apart from the C11–C16 phenyl ring, is most plausibly associated with the ππ stacking inter­actions between inversion-related pairs of molecules, as discussed below, while the twist of the C11–C16 ring out of the plane of the rest of the molecule may be influenced by the contact between atoms C151 and H12, where the observed nonbonded distance in (I) of 2.94 Å is almost identical to the sum of the van der Waals radii (2.95 Å; Bondi, 1964; Rowland & Taylor, 1996). The molecules of (I) thus exhibit no inter­nal symmetry, and hence they are conformationally chiral; however, the centrosymmetric space group confirms that equal numbers of the two conformational enanti­omers are present in each crystal.

It is of inter­est to consider what factors might be responsible for the adoption of the observed conformation for (I), as opposed to the other possible conformations (A)–(C) (see Scheme), which all have nearly planar skeletons, apart from the C11–C16 phenyl ring. The alternative orientation of the CN unit relative to the C—Cl bond in forms (I) and (A) are reminiscent of the two alternative orientations (D) and (E) of the formyl group observed in an extended series of chloro­pyrimidine carboxaldehydes (Cobo et al., 2008). A number of factors were considered (Cobo et al., 2008) as plausible contributors to the observation of these alternative conformations, and two of these factors, namely electrostatics and inter­molecular hydrogen-bond formation, are relevant to the present example. It may be assumed that the C5—Cl51 bond is polarized, with the Cl atom carrying a partial negative charge; since in the imino unit atom N41 also carries a partial negative charge, the mutual repulsion of these charges favours forms (I) and (B) over forms (A) and (C). So far as hydrogen bonding is concerned, the formation of an inter­molecular N—H···N hydrogen bond, as discussed below, is most likely to be the principal factor favouring the observed conformation (Fig. 1) over the alternative conformation (B).

The supra­molecular assembly of (I) is determined by a combination of an N—H···N hydrogen bond (Table 3) and a ππ stacking inter­action. The N—H···N hydrogen bond links molecules related by the n-glide plane at y = 0.25 into a C(7) (Bernstein et al., 1995) chain running parallel to the [101] direction, in which the two conformational enanti­omorphs alternate (Fig. 2). Chains of this type are linked by ππ stacking inter­actions. In the pair of inversion-related molecules at (x, y, z) and (-x+1, -y+1, -z+1), the pyrazole ring of one molecule and the C421–C426 phenyl ring of the other are nearly parallel, with a dihedral angle between their planes of 1.9 (2)°. The distance between the centroids of these two rings is 3.470 (2) Å and the shortest perpendicular distance from the centroid of one ring to the plane of the other is 3.385 (2) Å, giving a ring-centroid offset of ca 1.13 Å. Hence, the molecules in each such pair are linked by two ππ stacking inter­actions (Fig. 3). The two molecules in the reference π-stacked pair, at (x, y, z) and (-x+1, -y+1, -z+1) form parts, respectively, of the hydrogen-bonded chains across the n-glide planes at y = 1/4 and y = 3/4. Similarly, the molecule at (x+1/2, -y+1/2, z+1/2), which lies in the chain across the n-glide plane at y = 1/4, forms ππ stacking inter­actions with the molecule at (-x+3/2, y-1/2, -z+3/2), which itself forms part of the hydrogen-bonded chain across the n-glide plane at y = -1/4. In this way, the hydrogen-bonded chains parallel to [101] are linked into a π-stacked sheet lying parallel to (101) (Fig. 4).

There are two further direction-specific inter­molecular contacts, both of C—H···π(arene) type (Table 3) which require comment. Both of these contacts have C—H···(ring-centroid) angles which are less than 130° and, on this basis, neither is likely to be structurally significant (Wood et al., 2009). In addition, the contact having the smaller D—H···A angles also has a rather long H···A distance and it involves one of the C—H bonds of the methyl group. When a methyl group, having local C3 symmetry, is bonded to a planar ring, having approximate local C2 symmetry, the resulting sixfold rotational barrier is extremely low, of the order of only a few J mol-1 (Tannenbaum et al., 1956; Naylor & Wilson, 1957), so that such a methyl group is likely to be undergoing very rapid rotation about the bond connecting the two entities in question, here the C3—C31 bond. Hence, we conclude that neither of the C—H···π(arene) contacts is structurally significant. Thus, although the C11–C16 phenyl rings lie at the ends of the π-stacked dimers (Fig. 3), they play no structural role, other than defining a lower bound for the axial approach of such dimers to one another (cf. Fig. 4). Perhaps surprisingly, imine-type atom N41 plays no role in the hydrogen-bonded assembly; the shortest inter­molecular contacts involving this atom are to atom H12 at (-x+1, -y, -z+1), with an H···N distance of 2.83 Å, well outside the sum of the van der Waals radii, and to the associated atom C12 at (-x+1, -y, z+1), with an C···N distance of 3.419 (3) Å, corresponding to a C—H···N angle of only 121°. T he long H···N distance and the very small C—H···N angle mean that this contact is not structurally significant (Wood et al., 2009). There are no short inter­molecular contacts involving the Cl atom.
