Nitrones have various uses including as spin-trap reagents (Villamena et al., 2007) and therapeutic agents (Piperno et al., 2010). They react in [3 + 2] dipolar cycloadditions with carious dipolarophiles to construct functionalized isoxazolidines, which are useful intermediates in organic synthesis (Dell, 1998). As part of our studies in this area, we report herein the synthesis and crystal structure of the title compound (Fig. 1).The dihedral angle between the pyrazole and the C4-C9 rings is 41.27 (6) ; those between the pyrazole and the C11-C16 and C17-C22 rings are, respectively, 32.57 (6) and 20.93 (6) .In the crystal, zigzag chains along the c-axis direction are generated by C6-H6Á Á ÁO1 and C7-H7Á Á ÁO1 hydrogen bonds (Table 1 and Figs. 2 and 3). These are connected into layers parallel to the ac plane by C5-H5Á Á ÁO1 hydrogen bonds, three C-HÁ Á Á (ring) interactions (Table 1) and offset -stacking interactions between inversion-related C17-C22 rings [centroid-centroid distance = 3.6187 (8) Å ] (Figs. 2 and 3).
