Comment top

Pyrazole and its derivatives are an important class of N-heterocyclic compounds because they exhibit a broad spectrum of pharmacological activities such as antifungal (Adnan & Tarek, 2004), antitumor and antiangiogenic activities (Ashraf et al., 2003). As part of our research based on pyrazole derivatives and there complexes, the crystal structure of aquabis(3,5-dimethylpyrazolyl) copper(II) sulfate hydrate has been determined (Wang & Jian, 2010). As part of this ongoing search for new pyrazole compounds, the title compound was synthesized and its crystal structure is reported herein. In the title molecule (Fig. 1), bond lengths (Allen et al., 1987) and angles fall in normal ranges. The dihedral angle between the pyrazole ring (N1/N2/C2-C4) and the phenyl ring (C7-C11) is 78.65 (19)°. In the crystal, molecules are linked by N—H···N hydrogen bonds into one-dimensional chains along [010].

Experimental top

A mixture of 3-benzylpentane-2,4-dione (7.03 g, 0.037 mol) and hydrazine hydrate (2.20 g, 0.044 mol) was stirred with ice water for 4h. The reaction mixture was poured into ice water (100 ml) and the aqueous layer was extracted with ether. After being dried over anhydrous potassium carbonate, the organic layer was evaporated and the residue was purified. Single crystals were obtained by evaporation of an petroleum ether solution of (I) at room temperature over a period of several days.

Refinement top

In the absense of significant anomalous dispersion effects Friedel pairs were merged. The H atoms were placed in calculated positions (C—H = 0.93–0.97 Å and N—H = 0.86Å), and refined as riding with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C, N) or 1.5Ueq(methyl C).

Special details top

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