The title Schiff base compound, C28H21Cl2N3O, was synthesized by the condensation of 1-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)-3-methyl-4-(4-methylbenzoyl)-1H-pyrazol-5(4H)-one with 1-aminonaphthalene. The p-tolyl ring is normal to the pyrazole ring, with a dihedral angle of 88.02 (14)°, and inclined to the naphthalene ring system by 78.60 (12)°. The pyrazole ring is inclined to the naphthalene ring system and the dichloro-substituted benzene ring by 63.30 (12) and 11.03 (13)°, respectively. The amino group and carbonyl oxygen atom are involved in an intramolecular N—HO hydrogen bond enclosing an S(6) ring motif. There is also a short C—HO contact involving the carbonyl O atom and the adjacent benzene ring. In the crystal, molecules are linked by C—Hπ interactions, forming a three-dimensional structure.
