In the title compound, C16H11BrN2O, the phenyl and chlorobenzene rings are twisted out of the mean plane of the pyrazole ring, forming dihedral angles of 13.70 (10) and 36.48 (10)°, respectively. The carbaldehyde group is also twisted out of the pyrazole plane [the C—C—C—O torsion angle is 7.9 (3)°]. A helical supramolecular chain along the b axis and mediated by C—H⋯O interactions is the most prominent feature of the crystal packing.

Phosphoryl chloride (5.6 ml) was added drop wise to cold N,N-dimethylformamide (22.5 ml) under continuous stirring at 273–278 K for about 30 min. 4-Bromoacetophenone phenylhydrazone (5 g, 17 mmol) was added to the above reaction mixture. The resulting mixture was further stirred at 333 K for 6 h. and cooled to room temperature. The crude product was poured into crushed ice which resulted in a white precipitate. The resultant solid was filtered, dried and purified by
using chloroform. Recrystallization was by slow evaporation of chloroform solution of (I) which yielded colourless prisms. M.pt. 413–415 K. Yield: 56%.Carbon-bound H-atoms were placed in calculated positions [C—H 0.95 Å, Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C)] and were included in the
in the riding model approximation.A broad spectrum of biological activities [anti-bacterial, anti-depressant, anti-convulsive, anti-hypertensive, anti-oxidant anti-viral and anti-tumour] have been noted for pyrazoles and their derivatives (Kaushik et al., 2010; Ali et al., 2007; Krishnamurthy et al., 2004). In continuation of structural studies in this area (Asiri et al., 2011), the title compound, (I), was investigated.
The dihedral angles formed between the central pyrazole ring [r.m.s. deviation = 0.003 Å] and the N– and C-bound benzene rings of 13.70 (10) and 36.48 (10) °, respectively, indicate significant twists in the molecule of (I), Fig. 1. Similarly, the carbaldehyde group is twisted out of the plane of the five-membered ring as seen in the value of the C13—C14—C16—O1 torsion angle of 7.9 (3) °. The relative disposition of the benzene rings preclude close intermolecular association with the imine-N2 atom which, indeed, forms a close intramolecular C2—H···N2 contact, Table 1.
The crystal packing features C—H···O interactions involving a bifurcated carbonyl-O1 atom, Table 1. These result in the formation of a helical supramolecular chain along the b axis, Fig. 2.

Geometry. All s.u.'s (except the s.u. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell s.u.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of s.u.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between s.u.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell s.u.'s is used for estimating s.u.'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 > 2σ(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. |

A broad spectrum of biological activities [anti-bacterial, anti-depressant, anti-convulsive, anti-hypertensive, anti-oxidant anti-viral and anti-tumour] have been noted for pyrazoles and their derivatives (Kaushik et al., 2010; Ali et al., 2007; Krishnamurthy et al., 2004). In continuation of structural studies in this area (Asiri et al., 2011), the title compound, (I), was investigated.
The dihedral angles formed between the central pyrazole ring [r.m.s. deviation = 0.003 Å] and the N– and C-bound benzene rings of 13.70 (10) and 36.48 (10) °, respectively, indicate significant twists in the molecule of (I), Fig. 1. Similarly, the carbaldehyde group is twisted out of the plane of the five-membered ring as seen in the value of the C13—C14—C16—O1 torsion angle of 7.9 (3) °. The relative disposition of the benzene rings preclude close intermolecular association with the imine-N2 atom which, indeed, forms a close intramolecular C2—H···N2 contact, Table 1.
The crystal packing features C—H···O interactions involving a bifurcated carbonyl-O1 atom, Table 1. These result in the formation of a helical supramolecular chain along the b axis, Fig. 2.
