N‐{(1E)‐Amino­[3‐methyl‐5‐(4‐methyl­phenyl)‐4,5‐di­hydro‐1H‐pyrazol‐1‐yl]­methyl­ene}‐1H‐imidazole‐1‐carbox­amide

In the title compound, C₁₆H₁₈N₆O, an N‐carbonyl­imidazole derivative of pyrazoline‐1‐carboximid­amide, the π‐electron density of the N atom in the 1‐position on the pyrazoline ring is delocalized through the amidine moiety and the adjacent carbonyl group. The imidazole ring, though coplanar with the rest of the mol­ecule, is deconjugated. The pyrazoline ring adopts a flat‐envelope conformation, having the substituted phenyl ring oriented perpendicular to the mean plane of the heterocycle. Both of the two potential hydrogen‐bond donors are involved in intramolecular hydrogen‐bonding interactions.
