Acta Crystallogr E Crystallogr Commun. 2015 Dec 31;71(Pt 12):o1093-4. doi: 10.1107/S2056989015023658. eCollection 2015 Dec 1.

Abstract

In the title compound, C18H18N2O2, the pyrazole ring has a twisted conformation on the CH-CH2 bond. The tolyl ring and the 4-meth-oxy-phenyl ring are inclined to the mean plane of the pyrazole ring by 4.40 (9) and 86.22 (9)°, respectively, while the two aromatic rings are inclined to one another by 88.75 (9)°. In the crystal, mol-ecules are linked via bifurcated C-H⋯(O,O) hydrogen bonds and C-H⋯π inter-actions, forming sheets lying parallel to the ab plane.

Keywords: crystal structure; hydrogen bonding; pyrazole.
