Abstract
Both the acetyl and phenyl substituents of the central pyrazole ring in the title compound, C24H20N2O3S, are twisted with respect to the pyrazole ring, with the twist involving the phenyl ring being greater [67.4 (1) and 29.6 (2)degrees]. The tolyl substituent is disordered over two positions in a 1: 1 ratio; the mean planes of the aromatic ring are aligned at 67.7 (3) and 69.4 (3)degrees with respect to the pyrazole ring.
