(E)-N′-Hydroxy-1,3-diphenyl-4,5-dihydro-1H-pyrazole-5-carboximidamide

Abstract

In the molecule of the title compound, C16H16N4O, the pyrazole ring makes dihedral angles of 8.52 (13) and 9.26 (12)° with the phenyl rings. The dihedral angle between the benzene rings is 1.86 (13)°. In the crystal, molecules are linked into centrosymmetric dimers via pairs of O—H...N hydrogen bonds. Weak N—H...N interactions connect the dimers into a chain along the [100] direction. The pyrazole ring adopts a highly flattened envelope conformation.
