The title compound, C23H18ClN3O, was synthesized by the reaction of 4-chloroaniline and 4-benzoyl-3-methyl-1-phenyl-1H-pyrazol-5(4H)-one. The terminal benzene rings are twisted at dihedral angles of 48.3 (2), 71.4 (2) and 36.1 (2)° with respect to the central eight-atom methylpyrazolone/aminomethylene unit. An intramolecular N-H...O hydrogen bond stabilizes the planar conformation [mean deviation = 0.0398 (5) Å] of the central unit, generating an S(6) ring motif. The crystal packing is stabilized by van der Waals forces.
