Crystal structure of ethyl (2Z)-2-cyano-3-[(3-methyl-1-phenyl-1H-pyrazol-5-yl)amino]­prop-2-enoate

The title compound, C(16)H(16)N(4)O(2), crystallizes with two mol­ecules in the asymmetric unit, one of which shows disorder of the acetate group over two sets of sites in a 0.799 (2):0.201 (2) ratio. The phenyl group has a similar but opposite sense of twist relative to the pyrazole ring in the two mol­ecules, as indicated by the syn N—N—C(ar)—C(ar) (ar = aromatic) torsion angles of 39.7 (2) and −36.9 (2)°. Each mol­ecule features an intra­molecular N—H⋯O hydrogen bond, which closes an S(6) ring. In the crystal, C—H⋯O and C—H⋯N inter­actions direct the packing into a layered structure parallel to (110).
