3-Methyl-1,4-diphenyl-1H-pyrazolo[3,4-b]quinoline

In the title molecule, C₂₃H₁₇N₃, the phenyl substituents at positions 1 and 4 are twisted relative to the central core by 27.09 (5) and 66.62 (4)°, respectively. In the crystal, molecules are assembled into centrosymmetric dimers via π–π stacking interactions between the 1H-pyrazolo[3,4-b]quinoline units, with an interplanar distance of 3.601 (2) Å and by weak intermolecular C—H

N interactions.

The title compound and other 1H-pyrazolo[3,4-b]quinoline (PQ) derivatives containing hydrogen, methyl or phenyl substituents and their combination, showed important photophysical properties (Gondek et al., 2006) which could be utilized in organic light-emitting diodes (OLED) fabrication. To synthesize 1,3,4-substituted PQ derivatives, a method of preparation introduced by Danel (1996) was used. The results of using the title compound in OLED preparation will be published elsewhere.

The shape of the title molecule is shown in Fig. 1. The core of the molecule, 1H-pyrazolo[3,4-b]quinoline, is planar and aromatic. The planes of phenyl substituents at positions 1 and 4 are twisted against the core moiety with the torsion angles N2—N1—C11—C16 = -15.7 (2) and C3a—C4—C41—C46 = 116.7 (2)°. The conformation of the molecule is stabilized by two intramolecular interactions of C—H···N type in which N2 and N9 atoms are acceptors.

The packing of the molecules (Fig. 2) is determined by one weak intermolecular hydrogen bond C46—H46···N9 (-x + 1, -y + 1, -z), and π-π interactions: with Cg1 (N1—N2—C3—C3a—C9a)···Cg3 (C4a—C5—C6—C7—C8—C8a at 1 - x, 1 - y, -z) = 3.731 and Cg2 (C3a—C4—C4a—C8a—N9—C9a)···Cg2 (C3a—C4—C4a—C8a—N9—C9a at 1 - x, 1 - y, -z) = 3.799 Å resulting in forming molecular dimers. The two C—H···π interactions are described by the geometry parameters (H···A /Å, D···A /Å, <DHA /°, respectively) given below:

Experimental top

The title compound was synthesized using procedure already described in literature (Danel, 1996) from 2-aminobenzophenone and 5-methyl-2-phenyl-2,4-dihydro-pyrazol-3-one (10 mmol of each substrate, ethylene glycol as a solvent). The product was purified by flash chromatography on Al₂O₃ with chloroform as a solvent, followed by crystallization from toluene/petroleum ether to give 2.38 g (71% yield) of light-yellow crystalline solid, mp. 438–440 K. ¹H NMR (CDCl₃): δ 2.14 (s, 3H), 7.25–7.30 (m, 1H), 7.36 (ddd, J = 8.6, 6.7, 1.3 Hz, 1H), 7.44–7.47 (m, 2H), 7.52–7.60 (m, 5H). 7.71–7.77 (m, 2H), 8.20 (d, J = 8.4 Hz, 1H), 8.49–8.53 (m, 2H). ¹³C NMR (CDCl₃): δ 14.9, 116.3, 120.3, 123.6, 123.9, 124.9, 127.0, 128.3, 128.7, 129.0 (two signals), 129.7, 130.3, 135.0, 140.0, 143.8, 144.4, 148.5, 150.2. Single crystals suitable for X-ray diffraction were grown by slow evaporation from toluene solution at ambient conditions.

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.
