(E)-3-(4-Meth­oxy­phen­yl)-3-[3-(4-meth­oxy­phen­yl)-1H-pyrazol-1-yl]prop-2-enal

In the title mol­ecule, C(20)H(18)N(2)O(3), the pyrazole ring forms a dihedral angle of 2.2 (1)° with its meth­oxy­phenyl substituent and a dihedral angle of 67.2 (1)° with the benzene substituent on the propenal unit. In the crystal, mol­ecules are connected by weak C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds, forming R (2) (2)(26) and R (2) (2)(28) cyclic dimers that lie about crystallographic inversion centres. These dimers are further linked through C—H⋯O and C—H⋯N hydrogen bonds, forming C(8), C(9), C(10) and C(16) chain motifs. These primary motifs are further linked to form secondary C (2) (2)(15) chains and R (2) (2)(18) rings.
