A solution of 5-aminopyrazole (1 mmol), dimedone (1 mmol) and 4-bromobenzaldehyde (1 mmol) in 15 ml of absolute ethanol were heated to reflux for 20–50 min (thin-layer chromatography control). The reaction mixture was cooled and the solid corresponding to the title compound was filtered off, washed with ethanol, dried and recrystallized from ethanol to afford crystals suitable for diffraction analysis (70% yield, m.p. 587–588 K).

Experimental. The program DENZO-SMN (Otwinowski & Minor, 1997) uses a scaling algorithm (Fox & Holmes, 1966) which effectively corrects for absorption effects. High redundancy data were used in the scaling program hence the 'multi-scan' code word was used. no transmission coefficients are available from the program (only scale factors for each frame). The scale factors in the experimental table are calculated from the 'size' command in the SHELXL97 input file. |

Pyrazolo[3,4-b]quinolines are of interest as possible antiviral agents (Crenshaw et al., 1976, 1978; Smirnoff and Crenshaw, 1977). Some of their derivatives exhibit parasiticidic properties (Bristol-Meyers Co, 1973), and have been studied as potential anti-malarial agents (Stein et al., 1970). Some pyrazolo([3,4-b]quinolines have shown bactericidal activity (Farghaly et al., 1989), have also been used as vasodilators (Bell & Ackerman, 1990) and evaluated for enzymatic inhibitory activity (Gatta et al., 1991).
In previous reports, (Quiroga, Hormaza et al., 1998; Quiroga, Insuasty et al., 1998), we have reported an efficient and versatile synthesis of novel 4,7,8,9-tetrahydro-pyrimido-and 4,7,8,9-tetrahydropyrazolo[3,4-b] quinolin-5-ones from suitable pyrimidine and pyrazole amines to which dimedone and substituted benzaldehyde afford the ring annelation to quinoline.
Selected bond lengths and angles are given in Table 1 while a view of the molecule is given in Figure 1. The hydrogen bonding pattern comprises anti-parallel C(8), [N2–H2···O51i], chains linked together by R22(8), [N9–H9···N1ii], base-paired motifs (Bernstein et al., 1995). This combination forms a corrugated sheet which contains R66(34) rings. This structure is shown in Fig. 2. The details of the hydrogen bonds are given in Table 2.
Examination of the structure with PLATON (Spek, 2000) showed that there were no solvent accessible voids in the crystal lattice.
