The title molecule, C 22 H 19 N 3 O 2 , is a new polymorphic modification, viz. thephase; the -phase has been previously published [Liang & Wang (2010). Acta Cryst. E66, o1968-o1969]. In the crystal of the -phase, the molecules pack in helical chains generated by C-HÁ Á ÁO hydrogen bonds and offset --stacking interactions. Adjacent chains are associated through C-HÁ Á Á interactions. In the -phase, molecules are linked by C-HÁ Á ÁO and N-HÁ Á ÁO hydrogen bonds, forming layers parallel to the (102) plane. In addition, --stacking interactions and C-HÁ Á Á(ring) interactions consolidate the packing. The packing is compared to that of the -phase. The title compound was refined as a twocomponent twin.
Structure descriptionThe chemistry of pyrazolone has gained increasing attention due to its diverse pharmacological properties such as cytotoxic, anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, antioxidant, antifungal, antiviral, oral hypoglycaemic activity (Kumar et al., 2012). One of the most significant pyrazolone derivatives is antipyrine. Antipyrine derivatives are reported to exhibit analgesic and anti-inflammatory effects, antiviral and antibacterial activities and have also been used as hair-color additives and to increase the local anesthetic effect of lidocaine (Anupama et al., 2012 (Shakru, 2015). In light of these facts and as a continuation of our work on the synthesis of Schiff bases and hydrazones of the biological active nucleus (Mohamed et al., 2015), the title compound was synthesized.Here, we present the crystal structure of a new polymorph (Fig. 1), which we have called the -phase. The -phase corresponds to the crystal form reported earlier (Liang & Wang, 2010).The -phase crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P2 1 /c, with a = 13.7321 (3), b = 6.7719 (2), c = 19.1916 (4) Å , = 99.428 (1) , V = 1760.57 (7) Å 3 and Z = 4 (Table 2), while the -phase crystallizes in the same space group, with a = 8.0636 (7) (15) , respectively. In the -phase, the corresponding angles are similar [147.2 (2) and 115.1 (2) , respectively]. In the -phase, the mean planes of the phenyl ring and the naphthalene moiety make dihedral angles of 56.97 (7) and 12.14 (6), respectively, with that of the central heterocyclic ring, while in the -phase, the corresponding dihedral angles are 50.39 (13) and 11.62 (10) . The dihedral angles between the mean planes of the phenyl ring and the naphthalene ring system in the -and -phases are 61.81 (10) and 64.63 (5) , respectively.In the -phase (Fig. 1), the conformation is partially determined by the intramolecular O2-H1Á Á ÁN3 and C12-H12Á Á ÁO1 hydrogen bonds (Table 1). In the crystal, the molecules form helical chains along the 2 1 axes which involve C4-H4BÁ Á ÁO1 i and C5-H5AÁ Á ÁO2 ii [symmetry codes: (i) x, y + 1, z; (ii) Àx + 1, y + (Table 1 and Fig. 2) as well as pairwise, offset --stacking interactions between the C1-C3/ N1/ N2 and the C17-C22 rings across centers of symmetry (Fig. 3). In these, the distance between centroids is 3.889 (1) Å , the perpendicular distance between the rings is...
