3,5-Bis(4-methoxyphenyl)-1-phenyl-4,5-dihydro-1H-pyrazole

In the title compound, C23H22N2O2, the central pyrazole ring is nearly planar (r.m.s. deviation = 0.046 angstrom) and it makes a dihedral angle of 18.5 (2)degrees with the phenyl ring. The dihedral angles between the phenyl and the two methoxy-substituted phenyl rings are 26.2 (2) and 80.6 (2)degrees. The crystal structure is stabilized by C-H center dot center dot center dot pi stacking interactions and weak pi-pi interactions centriod-centroid distance = 3.891 (2) angstrom]
