In the title compound, C20H15FN4, the pyrazole ring forms dihedral angles of 43.51 (6), 39.95 (6) and 32.23 (6)° with the directly attached 4-fluorophenyl, pyridine and phenyl rings, respectively. The crystal packing is stabilized by intermolecular N—H⋯N and N—H⋯F hydrogen bonds.

LDA (20 mmol) was added to 30 ml dry THF and cooled to 195 K. 4-Fluorophenyl acetonitrile (14 mmol) in 10 ml THF was added dropwise and the reaction was stirred for 45 min. N-Phenyl-4-pyridinecarbohydrazonoyl chloride (5 mmol) dissolved in THF was added slowly to the reaction and stirring was continued for 1 h. After warming to 293 K, water (50 ml) was added and the reaction mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate (2x 50 ml). The organic layer was dried over Na2SO4, concentrated to about 5 ml and the pure product precipitated as a pale brown solid, filtered and washed with petroleum ether. Yield: 30%. Crystals suitable for X-Ray were obtained from recrystallization from hot methanol.
Hydrogen atoms attached to carbons were placed at calculated positions with C—H = 0.95 Å (aromatic) or 0.98–0.99 Å (sp3 C-atom). All H atoms were refined in the riding-model approximation with isotropic displacement parameters set at 1.2–1.5 times of the Ueq of the parent atom. H atoms bonded to N were found in a difference map and constrained to this position with U(H)=1.5Ueq(N).

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. |

Compounds having a vicinal 4-fluorophenyl/pyridin-4-yl system connected to a five-membered heterocyclic core have been considered to be potential p38α MAP kinase inhibitors (Abu Thaher et al. 2009, Peifer et al. 2006). Recently, we showed that the regioisomeric switch from 3-(4-fluorophenyl)-4-(pyridin-4-yl)-1-(aryl)-1H-pyrazol-5-amine to 4-(4-fluorophenyl)-3-(pyridin-4-yl)-1-(aryl)-1H-pyrazol-5-amine completely changed the inhibitory profile from p38α MAP kinase to kinases releant in cancer (Abu Thaher et al. 2012).
In the crystal structure of the title compound (Fig. 1), the pyrazole ring forms dihedral angels of 43.51 (6)°, 39.95 (6)° and 32.23 (6)° with the 4-fluorophenyl, pyridine and phenyl rings, respectively. The 4-fluorophenyl ring encloses dihedral angels of 46.49 (6)° and 17.4 (6)° toward the pyridine and phenyl rings, respectively. The pyridine ring is orientated at a dihedral angle of 30.07 (6)° toward the phenyl ring.
The crystal packing shows that the amino function acts as a hydrogen bond donor of two intermolecular hydrogen bonds - one to the nitrogen atom (N15) of the pyridine ring and another one to the fluorine atom (F24) of the 4-fluorophenyl ring of two different molecules. The length of the hydrogen bonds is 2.18 Å and 2.44 Å, respectively.
