4-Acetyl-3-methyl-1-phenyl-5-hydroxy pyrazole (0.218 g, 1 mmol), 2-naphthaldehyde (0.234 g, 1.5 mmol) in glacial acetic acid (10 ml) and concentrated sulfuric acid (0.2 ml) was stirred at 353–360 K for 8 h. The reaction mixture was diluted with distilled water (50 ml). The precipitate was filtered, washed with methanol and dried. The crude product was purified by column chromatography using n-hexane and ethyl acetate mixtures as eluents. The product was recrystallized form n-hexane solution to afford purple needle. Yield = 56%, m.p. = 491 K
The H-atoms were positioned geometrically (C–H = 0.93–0.96 Å, O—H= 0.82 Å) and refined as riding with Uiso(H) = xUeq(C, O), where x = 1.5 for methyl and hydroxy and x =1.2 for other H-atoms.

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. |

The crystal structures of 5-methyl-2-phenyl-4-((E)-3-phenyl-2-hydroxy- prop-2-enylidene)-1,2-dihydro-3H-pyrazol-3-one (Holzer et al., 1999), (4Z)-4-((2E)-1-hydroxy-3-(4-methoxyphenyl)prop-2-en-1- ylidene)-3-methyl-1-phenyl-1H-pyrazol-5(4H)-one (Malik et al., 2009) and (4Z)-4-((2E)-1-hydroxy-3-(3-nitrophenyl)prop- 2-en-1-ylidene)-3-methyl-1-(4-methylphenyl)-1H-pyrazol-5(4H)-one (Chaudhry, et al., 2012) have been published which are related to the title compound (I, Fig. 1). (I) is synthesized for the biological studies as well as for the preparation of different metal complexes.
In (I), the benzene ring A (C1–C6) and the (4Z)-4-[(2E)-1- hydroxy-3-(naphthalen-2-yl)prop-2-en-1-ylidene]-5-methyl-2,4-dihydro-3H -pyrazol-3-one moiety B (C7 –C23/N1/N2/O1/O2) are almost planar with r.m.s. deviations of 0.0022 and 0.0179 Å, respectively. The dihedral angle between A/B is 2.30 (13)°. There exist intramolecular H-bonding of O—H···O type completing S (6) loop. There exist π–π interactions at a distance of 3.9285 (15) Å between the centroids of Cg1—Cg2i and Cg2— Cg1ii [i = 1 + x, y, z and ii = -1 + x, y, z], where Cg1 and Cg2 are the centroids of heterocyclic ring C (N1/N2/C7/C8/C9) and benzene ring A (Fig. 2). Similarly, there exist π–π interactions at a distance of 3.8913 (14) Å between the centroids of Cg3—Cg1i and Cg1— Cg3ii [i = 1 + x, y, z and ii = -1 + x, y, z], where Cg3 is the centroids of ring D (C14/C15/C16/C17/C22/C23).
