(Received 28 October 2010; accepted 8 November 2010; online 13 November 2010)

The title molecule, C₁₈H₁₈N₂O₂, is V-shaped with the pyrazoline moiety being inclined to the adjacent phenyl ring by an angle of 6.49 (9)°, while the 4-methoxy-substituted ring is inclined to the pyrazoline ring by 82.99 (9)°. In the crystal, adjacent molecules are linked by C—H⋯O interactions, forming chains propagating in [100]. There are also C—H⋯π interactions involving adjacent molecules and those related by an inversion center.

Comment top

Pyrazoline systems are well known nitrogen-containing heterocyclic compounds which possess a wide range of biological and pharmacological activities such as antitumor (Hatheway et al., 1978), immunosuppressive (Lombardino et al.,1981), psychoanaleptic (Parmar et al., 1974), anti-inflammation (Rathish et al., 2009), and anticancer (Subbaramaiah et al., 2002). In continuation of previous structural studies of alkoxy group bearing pyrazoline derivatives (Abbas et al., 2010), the title compound was synthesized and its crystal structure is reported on herein.

The molecular structure of the title compound is shown in Fig. 1. All the bond lengths and bond angles are similar to those observed in similar structures (Fahrni et al., 2003; Bai et al., 2009; Lu et al., 2008). In the pyrazolinyl ring, the C8—N2 and C10=N1 bond lengths, 1.483 (2) and 1.2860 (18) Å, respectively, are comparable with those in similar structures [C—N 1.482 (2)–1.515 (9) A°, C=N 1.291 (2)–1.300 (10) A°]. The N1—N2 bond length of 1.3867 (16) Å is slightly longer than that found in a similar structure [N–N 1.373 (2)–1.380 (8) A°] (Jian et al., 2008). The plane containing the pyrazoline moiety is inclined to the adjacent phenyl ring (C16-C21) by 6.49 (9)\%, while the 4-methoxy substituted phenyl ring (C2-C7) is inclined to the pyrazoline moiety by 82.99 (9) °.

In the crystal adjacent molecules are linked by a C-H···O interaction forming chains propagating in [100]. There are also C-H···π interactions involving adjacent molecules and those related by an inversion center; see Table 1 for details.

Experimental top

To a mixture of (E)-3-(4-(methoxy)phenyl)-1-phenylprop-2-en-1-one (2.94 g, 10 mmol) and hydrazine hydrate (1.0 g, 20 mmol) in acetic acid (25 ml), were added two drops of concentrated hydrochloric acid. The mixture was refluxed for 5 h. The precipitated solids were filtered, dried and recrystallized from ethanol. The crystals, suitable for X-ray diffraction analysis, were obtained from a mixture of ethyl acetate and dichloromethane (v:v / 1:1) by slow evaporation.

Special details top

Geometry. All e.s.d.'s (except the e.s.d. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of e.s.d.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between e.s.d.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell e.s.d.'s is used for estimating e.s.d.'s involving l.s. planes.

Refinement. Refinement of F² against ALL reflections. The weighted R-factor wR and goodness of fit S are based on F², conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F². The threshold expression of F² > σ(F²) is used only for calculating R-factors(gt) 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.
