Crystal structure of (Z)-N′-[1-(3-methyl-5-oxo-1-phenyl-1,5-dihydro-4H-pyrazol-4-ylidene)propyl]benzenesulfonohydrazide
The title compound, C19H20N4O3S, was synthesized by refluxing equimolar amounts of 1-phenyl-3-methyl-4-propionylpyrazol-5-one and benzenesulfonyl hydrazide in ethanol. The compound crystallizes in the keto form and the carbonyl O atom forms an intramolecular N—H...O hydrogen bond with the neighbouring NH group. There is also C—H...O short contact involving the neighbouring phenyl ring. Probably as a result of this, the phenyl ring is inclined to the pyrazolone ring by only 7.58 (12)°. The dihedral angle between the phenyl ring and the benzenesulfonyl ring is 22.78 (11)°. In the crystal, molecules are linked by pairs of N—H...O hydrogen bonds, forming inversion dimers with anR22(14) ring motif. The dimers are linkedviapairs of C—H...O hydrogen bonds, forming chains propagating along [100].
