Abstract:
In the title compound, C20H16N2O3, the phenyl substituent attached to the pyrazole ring makes a dihedral angle of 4.87 (7)° with the rest of the mol-ecule. In the crystal, mol-ecules are connected into inversion dimers of the R 2 (2)(14) type by pairs of C-H⋯O inter-actions. π-π inter-actions exist between the benzene and pyrazole rings at a distance of 3.701 (1) Å. Similarly, π-π inter-actions are present at a centroid-centroid distance of 3.601 (1) Å between the oxygen-containing heterocyclic ring and meth-oxy substituted aromatic ring of a neighbouring mol-ecule. Additional C-H⋯π and C=O⋯π inter-actions are also observed.
