title: 4-[3,4-Dimethyl-1-(4-methyl-phen-yl)-5-oxo-4,5-dihydro-1H-pyrazol-4-yl]-3,4-dimethyl-1-(4-methyl-phen-yl)-4,5-dihydro-1H-pyrazol-5-one.
abstract: In the title compound, C(24)H(26)N(4)O(2), the complete mol-ecule is generated by the application of twofold symmetry. The pyrazole ring is approximately planar [r.m.s. deviation = 0.026 Å] and the benzene ring is twisted out of this plane [dihedral angle = 21.94 (7)°]. A twist in the mol-ecule about the central C-C bond [1.566 (3) Å] is also evident [C-C-C-C torsion angle = 44.30 (14)°]. Supra-molecular layers in the bc plane are formed in the crystal packing via C-H⋯O and C-H⋯π inter-actions.
