Source of materialHydrazine monohydrate (3 ml) in ethanol (10 ml) was added dropwise to arefluxing ethanol (30 ml) solution of the appropriate 1-(furan-2-yl)-3-(naphthalen-6-yl)propane-1,3-dione (2.64 g). The solution was refluxed for 3hand the solvent was removed by evaporation. The residual solid was recrystallized from dillute ethanol solution to give the title compound (yield 1.98 g, 76 %). Crystals suitable for X-ray diffraction were grown by slow evaporation of the CH 2 Cl 2 /EtOH (1:2, v/v)solution at room temperature.
Experimental detailsThe O1 and C15 on furan ring were found to be disordered, with the occupancies of the positions O1/O1'and C15/C15' refined to 0.53/0.47. Hatoms were placed in geometrically idealized positions and constrained to ride on their parent atoms with C-Hdistances of 0.93 to 0.97 Å,a nd with U iso (H) =1 .2 U eq (C). All H atoms on Natoms were positioned geometrically and refined as riding atoms with d(N-H) =0.86 Å and U iso (H) =1.2 U eq (N). The possible reason of the high Rvalues is the poor quality of selected crystal.
DiscussionPyrazoles are an important class of heteroaromatic ring systems that find extensive use in the pharmaceutical industry [1,2]. Pyrazoles crystallize with four hydrogen-bonding patterns -dimers, trimers, tetramers and catemers through N−H···Nhydrogen interactions using both Natoms of the pyrazole [3,4]. In the title crystal structure the molecule adopts aH -bonded catemer structure. Proton of the pyrazole group is resided at the nitrogen atom N1. The entire molecule is approximately planar, the pyrazolyl ring makes dihedral angles of 3.66(4)°and 8.38(4)°w ith two aromatic rings (C1/C4/C9/C10 and O1/C14-C17), respectively. The N2 atom form strong intermolecular hydrogen bonds with the pyrazole proton on atom N1 of the neighboring molecule. This is evidenced by the short N1···N2 distance of 2.999(2) Å,which is comparable to that of the N···Nbonding observed in the related, 3-methyl-5-phenyl-pyrazole and 3,5-diphenylpyrazole, which formed the tetrameric structures in the solid state (2.824(5) -2.913(5) Å) [5]. The distances of N1-H1A and N2···H1A hydrogen bonds are 0.89(3) and 2.11(3) Å,respectively. As shown in bottom figure, molecules are linked into chains via N−H···Nintermolecular hydrogen bonds, the aromatic p-p stacking interactions between the furan ring and the pyrazole ring, Cg1-Cg2 i [centroid-centroid distance of 3.644 (4) Å, symmetry code i: x,−1+y,z,where Cg1 and Cg2 are centroids of the furan ring (O1/C14-C16) and the pyrazole ring (N1/N2/C13-C11), respectively] may further stabilize the structure.
