In the title compound, C15H17BrN2O3, the dihedral angle between the benzene and pyrazole rings is 5.63 (2)°. The crystal packing is stabilized by weak π–π stacking interactions [centroid–centroid distance = 3.927 (5) Å] and intermolecular C—H⋯O and C—H⋯Br hydrogen bonds.

A mixture of of ethyl 3-(4-methoxyphenyl)-1H-pyrazole-5-carboxylate (2.46 g, 10 mmol), 1,2-dibromoethane (3.76 g, 20 mmol), K2CO3 (5.53 g, 40 mmol) in dried acetonitrile (30 ml) was refluxed overnight. On cooling, the reaction mixture was filtered and poured into 200 ml of brine. The resulting mixture was extracted with dichloromethane (3 × 50 ml), and the combined extracts were washed with saturated brine, dried over Na2SO4 and evaporated on a rotary evaporator to afford the crude product as brown solid, which was purified by
to yield the pure product as colourless crystals (yield 88%). Single crystals suitable for single-crystal X-ray diffraction were obtained by slow evaporation at room temperature of a solution of the title compound in dichloromethane/hexane (1:5 v/v). M.p.: 361–363 K.All H atoms were found in a difference Fourier map and refined using a riding model, with C–H = 0.95–0.99 Å and with Uiso(H) = 1.2 Ueq(C) or 1.5Ueq(C) for methyl H atoms.
Pyrazole compounds are associated with a wide spectrum of biological activities (Nagwa et al., 2012; Fahmy et al., 2012). The title compound is a key intermediate during the synthesis of our own Lp-PLA2 inhibitors (Wang et al., 2011).
In title compound (Fig. 1) the dihedral angle between the benzene ring (C2—C7) and the pyrazole ring (N1/N2/C8—C10) is 5.63 (2) °. All bond lengths and angles are normal and in a good agreement with those reported previously for related compounds (Dong et al., 2007; Hao et al., 2012). The crystal packing is stabilized by weak π–π stacking interactions [Cg1···Cg2i = 3.697 (9) Å, Cg1 and Cg2 are the centroids of the benzene and pyrazole ring, respectively; symmetry code: (i) -x, 2-y, 1-z] and weak intermolecular C—H···O and C—H···Br hydrogen interactions (Table 1).

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. |

Pyrazole compounds are associated with a wide spectrum of biological activities (Nagwa et al., 2012; Fahmy et al., 2012). The title compound is a key intermediate during the synthesis of our own Lp-PLA2 inhibitors (Wang et al., 2011).
In title compound (Fig. 1) the dihedral angle between the benzene ring (C2—C7) and the pyrazole ring (N1/N2/C8—C10) is 5.63 (2) °. All bond lengths and angles are normal and in a good agreement with those reported previously for related compounds (Dong et al., 2007; Hao et al., 2012). The crystal packing is stabilized by weak π–π stacking interactions [Cg1···Cg2i = 3.697 (9) Å, Cg1 and Cg2 are the centroids of the benzene and pyrazole ring, respectively; symmetry code: (i) -x, 2-y, 1-z] and weak intermolecular C—H···O and C—H···Br hydrogen interactions (Table 1).
