143-146Novel pyrazole chalcone has been synthesized by reaction of phenyl-3-p-tolyl-1H-pyrazole-4-carbaldehyde and acetophenone by Claisen-Schmidt reaction in ethanol by microwave assisted method. It has been characterized by elemental analysis and spectroscopic (FTIR, 1H NMR and MS) studies. Crystal structure of the compound has been determined using single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Hydrogen-bonded chain is formed by C–H···O bonding enhanced by C–H···π interaction. Adjacent chains are connected through the π∙∙∙π interactions
