4-[N,N-bis(2-hydroxyimino-2-phenylethyl)amino]-1,5-dimethyl-2-phenyl-2, 3-dihydro-1H-pyrazol-3-one monohydrate

The title compound, C27H27N5O 3·H2O, is built up from pyrazolinone, phenyl and acetophenone oxime moieties. The 2-phenyl substituent is nearly perpendicular to the pyrazolinone ring, with a dihedral angle of 87.66 (1)°. The acetophenone oxime moieties are twisted out of the pyrazolinonering plane by 47.04 (1)°. The molecules in the crystal pack in an antiparallel fashion and are held together by hydrogen-bonded water molecules and intermolecular O-H?O and O-H?N hydrogen bonds
