Under nitrogen, a mixture of 4-amino-2,3-dimethyl-1-phenyl-1,2-dihydropyrazol-5-one (1.45 g,10 mmol), Na2SO4 (3.0 g) and 2-hydroxy-3-methylbenzadehyde (1.60 g, 10 mmol) in absolute ethanol (20 ml) was refluxed for about 12 h to yield a yellow precipitate. The product was collected by vacuum filtration and washed with ethanol. The crude solid was redissolved in CH2Cl2 (100 ml) and washed with water (2 x 15 ml) and brine (8 ml). After drying over Na2SO4, the solvent was removed under vacuum, and a yellow solid was isolated in 92% yield (3.1 g). Colourless single crystals of the title Schiff base suitable for X-ray analysis were grown from CH2Cl2 and absolute ethanol (4:1) by slow evaporation of the solvents at room temperature over a period of about one week.
All H atoms were placed in calculated positions (C—H = 0.93 (aromatic) or 0.96 Å (methyl), O—H = 0.82 Å) and refined using a riding model, with Uiso(H) = xUeq(carrier atom), where x = 1.5 for methyl and 1.2 for other H atoms.
Schiff base ligands have significant importance in chemistry, especially in the development of Schiff base complexes, (Johnson et al., 1996; Alizadeh et al., 1999; Wang & Zheng, 2007). Schiff bases that have solvent-dependent UV/vis spectra (solvatochromicity) can be suitable NLO (nonlinear optically active) materials (Alemi & Shaabani, 2000). They are also useful in the asymmetric oxidation of methyl phenyl sulfide and are enantioselective (Kim & Shin, 1999). In this paper, we report the synthesis and crystal structure of the title compound.
The molecular structure of the title compound, C19H19N3O2, (Fig. 1), is very similar to the compound, C19H19N3OS, that was reported recently by Yan and his co-workers (Yan et al., 2007). In the latter, there are intermolecular C—H···O hydrogen bonds, leading to a chain parallel to the a axis. In contrast, the crystal structure of the title compound has only an intramolecular O—H···N hydrogen bond (Table 1).
The C12—N1 bond length is 1.29 (9) Å, indicative of a C═N double bond. The other C—N, C—O and C—C distances show no remarkable features (Cambridge Structural Database, August 2006 version; Allen, 2002; Mogul, version 1.1; Bruno et al., 2004) The dihydropyrazole ring (C7–C9/N2,N3) is essentially planar with an r.m.s. deviation of 0.0289 Å for the fitted atoms; this ring makes a dihedral angle of 41.8 (2)° and 51.1 (3)° with the phenyl and benzene rings, respectively. Bond conjugation is observed in the (N1/C12/C13) sequence of atoms (Jin et al., 2004).

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. |

Schiff base ligands have significant importance in chemistry, especially in the development of Schiff base complexes, (Johnson et al., 1996; Alizadeh et al., 1999; Wang & Zheng, 2007). Schiff bases that have solvent-dependent UV/vis spectra (solvatochromicity) can be suitable NLO (nonlinear optically active) materials (Alemi & Shaabani, 2000). They are also useful in the asymmetric oxidation of methyl phenyl sulfide and are enantioselective (Kim & Shin, 1999). In this paper, we report the synthesis and crystal structure of the title compound.
The molecular structure of the title compound, C19H19N3O2, (Fig. 1), is very similar to the compound, C19H19N3OS, that was reported recently by Yan and his co-workers (Yan et al., 2007). In the latter, there are intermolecular C—H···O hydrogen bonds, leading to a chain parallel to the a axis. In contrast, the crystal structure of the title compound has only an intramolecular O—H···N hydrogen bond (Table 1).
The C12—N1 bond length is 1.29 (9) Å, indicative of a C═N double bond. The other C—N, C—O and C—C distances show no remarkable features (Cambridge Structural Database, August 2006 version; Allen, 2002; Mogul, version 1.1; Bruno et al., 2004) The dihydropyrazole ring (C7–C9/N2,N3) is essentially planar with an r.m.s. deviation of 0.0289 Å for the fitted atoms; this ring makes a dihedral angle of 41.8 (2)° and 51.1 (3)° with the phenyl and benzene rings, respectively. Bond conjugation is observed in the (N1/C12/C13) sequence of atoms (Jin et al., 2004).
