The title compound, C13H16N2O4, is approximately planar (r.m.s. deviation = 0.065 Å for the 19 non-H atoms). An intramolecular N—H⋯O hydrogen bond generates an S(6) ring motif and the molecule adopts an E conformation with respect to the central C=N double bond. In the crystal, pairs of intermolecular C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds link adjacent molecules into inversion dimers. The also features weak C—H⋯π interactions.

The title compound was prepared by dissolving 3-methoxy aniline (0.01 mol) in dilute hydrochloric acid (10 ml) and cooled to 0 °C in an ice bath. To this, a cold solution of sodium nitrite (0.02 mol) was added. The resulting diazonium salt solution was filtered into a cold solution of ethyl acetoacetate (0.05 mol) and sodium acetate in ethanol. The separated yellow solid was filtered, washed with water and recrystallized from ethanol to yield yellow blocks of (I).
Atom H1N1 was located in a difference Fourier map and refined freely with N–H = 0.871 (19) Å. The remaining H atoms were positioned geometrically with C–H = 0.93–0.97 Å. The Uiso values were constrained to be 1.5Ueq of the
for methyl H atoms and 1.2Ueq for the remaining H atoms. A rotating group model was used for the methyl groups.Derivatives of oxobutanoates are biologically important. 4-Methylthio-2-oxobutanoate was identified in the culture fluids of a range of bacteria, e.g. the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae and the fungus Penicillium digitatum (Billington et al., 1979). Some oxobutanoates exhibit cytotoxic properties (Stancho et al., 2008). Pyrazole derivatives are well established in the literatures as important biologically effective
(Rai et al., 2008). These derivatives are the subject of many research studies due to their widespread pharmacological activities such as anti-inflammatory (Girisha et al., 2010), antipyretic, antimicrobial (Isloor et al., 2009), and antiviral activities. The widely prescribed anti-inflammatory pyrazole derivatives, celecoxib and deracoxib, are selective COX-2 inhibitors with reduced ulcerogenic side effects. The title compound (I), ethyl-2-[2-(3-methoxyphenyl)hydrazinylidene]-3-oxobutanoate, is a key intermediate in the preparation of pyrazole derivative. Condensation of oxobutanoate with thiosemicarbazide in glacial acetic acid medium gave the required pyrazole derivatives.In the title compound of (I) (Fig. 1), an intramolecular N1—H1N1···O3 hydrogen bond (Table 1) generates a six–membered ring producing an S(6) ring motif (Bernstein et al., 1995). The molecule adopts an E-configuration with respect to the central C7═N2 double bond. Similar configuration was also reported in the of (Fun et al., 2011).

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 > 2sigma(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. |

Derivatives of oxobutanoates are biologically important. 4-Methylthio-2-oxobutanoate was identified in the culture fluids of a range of bacteria, e.g. the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae and the fungus Penicillium digitatum (Billington et al., 1979). Some oxobutanoates exhibit cytotoxic properties (Stancho et al., 2008). Pyrazole derivatives are well established in the literatures as important biologically effective heterocyclic compounds (Rai et al., 2008). These derivatives are the subject of many research studies due to their widespread pharmacological activities such as anti-inflammatory (Girisha et al., 2010), antipyretic, antimicrobial (Isloor et al., 2009), and antiviral activities. The widely prescribed anti-inflammatory pyrazole derivatives, celecoxib and deracoxib, are selective COX-2 inhibitors with reduced ulcerogenic side effects. The title compound (I), ethyl-2-[2-(3-methoxyphenyl)hydrazinylidene]-3-oxobutanoate, is a key intermediate in the preparation of pyrazole derivative. Condensation of oxobutanoate with thiosemicarbazide in glacial acetic acid medium gave the required pyrazole derivatives.
In the title compound of (I) (Fig. 1), an intramolecular N1—H1N1···O3 hydrogen bond (Table 1) generates a six–membered ring producing an S(6) ring motif (Bernstein et al., 1995). The molecule adopts an E-configuration with respect to the central C7═N2 double bond. Similar configuration was also reported in the crystal structure of (Fun et al., 2011).
In the crystal structure of (Fig. 2), intermolecular C5—H5A···O3 and C13—H13C···O4 hydrogen bonds link the molecules into dimers. The crystal structure is further stabilizied by weak C—H···π interactions (Table 1) with distance of 3.6422 (17) Å involving the C1–C6 (centroid Cg1) ring.
