White %J Crystals %D 2012 %I MDPI AG %R 10.3390/cryst2030967 %X A facile one-pot synthesis of methyl 5-(4-chlorobenzoyloxy)-1-phenyl-1 H-pyrazole-3-carboxylate (4) is described. The title compound was efficiently synthesized by the reaction of phenyl hydrazine, dimethyl acetylenedicarboxylate and 4-chlorobenzoyl chloride in dichloromethane under reflux in good yield. The structure of the target compound was deduced by modern spectroscopic and analytical techniques and unequivocally confirmed by a single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. The crystal of the title compound belongs to orthorhombic system, space group P 2 1 2 1 2 1 with cell parameters a = 6.6491(3) £¿, b = 7.9627(6) £¿, c = 30.621(5) £¿, ¦Á = ¦Â = ¦Ã = 90¡ã and Z = 4. The crystal packing of the compound (4) is stabilized by an offset ¦Ð-stacking between the planar benzoyl-substituted diazole moieties. %K one-pot synthesis %K pyrazole %K dimethyl acetylenedicarboxylate %K phenyl hydrazine %K benzoyl chloride %K crystal structure %U http://www.mdpi.com/2073-4352/2/3/967
