9-(Thio-phen-2-yl)-8,9-dihydro-3H-pyrazolo-[4,3-f]quinolin-7(6H)-one ethanol monosolvate.

In the title compound, C(14)H(11)N(3)OS·C(2)H(5)OH, the dihedral angle between the pyridine N-C(fused)-C(fused)-C(thio-phene) plane and the plane of the thio-phene ring is 81.9†(3)°, indicating that they are close to perpendicular. The dihedral angle between this pyridine plane and the benzene ring is 1.3†(3)°. The thio-phene ring is disordered over two coplanar orientations with an occupancy ratio of 0.692†(7):0.308†(7), while the ethanol solvent mol-ecule is also disordered over two sets of site in a 0.66†(4):0.34†(4) ratio. In the crystal, chains are formed along the b axis by N-H⋯O and O-H⋯N inter-actions with adjacent chains being connected through C-H⋯N and C-H⋯S inter-actions.
