The title compound, C19H19N3O2, is a Schiff base compound derived from 4-aminoantipyrine and 5-hydroxy-2-methylbenzaldehyde. The molecule adopts a trans configuration about the central C=N bond. There is an intramolecular O—H⋯N hydrogen bond. Futhermore, weak C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds lead to the formation of a chain developing parallel to the b axis.

Under nitrogen, a mixture of 5-hydroxy-2-methylbenzaldehyde (1.36 g,10 mmol) and 4-amino-1,2-dihydro-1,5-dimethyl -1-phenylpyrazol-3-one (2.03 g, 10 mmol) in absolute ethanol (120 ml) was refluxed for about 3 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*10 ml)and brine(10 ml). After dried over Na2SO4, the solvent was removed under vacuum, and yellow solid was isolated in yield 92% (3.5 g). Colourless single crystals of the compound suitable for X-ray analysis were grown from CH2Cl2 and absolute ethanol(5:1) by slow evaporation of the solvent at room temperature over a period of about a week.
All H atoms attached to C and O atoms were fixed geometrically and treated as riding with C—H = 0.96 Å (methyl) or 0.93 Å (aromatic) and O—H = 0.82 Å with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(aromatic) or Uiso(H) = 1.5Ueq(methyl, O). The H attached to C18 are statistically disordered over two positions.

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

The design, synthesis, characterization, and properties of Schiff bases and Schiff base complexes. (Yan et al., 2006; Zheng et al., 2006; You et al., 2006) are still of great interest. Schiff bases that have solvent dependent UV/vis spectra (solvatochromicity) can be suitable NLO active materials (Alemi & Shaabani, 2000). They are also useful in asymmetric oxidation of methyl phenyl sulfide (Kim & Shin, 1999).
The molecule adopts trans configuration about the central C=N bond (Fig. 1). There is an intramolecular O-H···N hydrogen bond. Futhermore, weak C-H···O hydrogen bonds lead to the formation of a chain developping parallel to the b axis (Table 1, Fig. 2).
