1-(3,5-Dimethyl-1H-pyrazol-1-yl)-3-phenylisoquinoline
Abstract
The molecular conformation of the title compound, C20H17N3, is stabilized by an intramolecular C—H...N interaction. The crystal structure shows intermolecular C—H...π interactions. The dihedral angle between the isoquinoline unit and the phenyl ring is 11.42 (1)° whereas the isoquinoline unit and the pendent dimethyl pryrazole unit form a dihedral angle of 50.1 (4)°. Furthermore, the angle between the mean plane of the phenyl ring and the dimethyl pyrazole unit is 47.3 (6)°.
