A solution of 5-amino-3-tert-butyl-1-phenylpyrazole (Grandberg et al., 1962; Abonia et al., 2002) (1.00 g, 4.65 mmol) and 1-hydroxymethylbenzotriazole (Burckhalter et al., 1952) (0.70 g, 4.69 mmol) in 5 ml of ethanol was heated under reflux for 3 min. After cooling, the precipitate which formed was filtered off and washed with ethanol, giving (I) as a white solid (84% yield; m.p. 453 K; analysis, found: C 69.3, H 6.43, N 24.2%; C20H22N6 requires: C 69.3, H 6.4, N 24.3%). Crystals suitable for single-crystal X-ray diffraction were grown from a solution in ethanol.
Compound (I) crystallized in the orthorhombic system; space group P212121 was assigned uniquely from the systematic absences. H atoms were treated as riding, with C—H distances in the range 0.95–0.99 Å and an N—H distance of 0.88 Å. The Friedel equivalent reflections were merged prior to the final refinements, as the absolute structure could not be assigned.

The title compound, (I) (Fig. 1), was prepared as a precursor for the synthesis of new hydrogenated pyrazolopyridines using the benzotriazole methodology (Katritzky et al., 1995, 1998; Abonia et al., 2001).
The C—C bond distances (Table 1) in the fused arene ring show some evidence for bond fixation, with bonds C3—C4 and C5—C6 being somewhat shorter than the neighbouring bonds; likewise bond N2—N3 is markedly shorter than both N1—N2 and N5—N6. The pattern of the C—N distances is of interest; the two distances C7—N1 and C7—N4 involving planar three-connected N and four-connected C atoms are significantly different; likewise the two distances C1—N3 and C9—N6 involving two-connected N and planar three-connected C atoms differ significantly, consistent with the occurrence of single and double bonds, respectively. On the other hand, the three distances C2—N1, C8—N4 and C8—N5 involving two planar three-connected atoms span only a rather small range.
The supramolecular structure of (I) is determined by a combination of N—H···N and C—H···N hydrogen bonds and C—H···π(pyrazole) interactions (Table 2). The amino atom N4 at (x, y, z) acts as hydrogen-bond donor to triazole N3 at (2 - x, -0.5 + y, 0.5 - z), while N4 at (2 - x, -0.5 + y, 0.5 - z), in turn, acts as donor to N3 at (x, -1 + y, z), so producing a C(6) chain generated by the 21 screw axis along (1, y, 1/4). This is augmented by a fairly weak C—H···N hydrogen bond: C3 at (x, y, z) acts as donor to triazole N2 at (2 - x, -0.5 + y, 0.5 - z), producing a C(5) chain generated by the same screw axis as before, so that the resulting chain of rings running parallel to the [010] direction (Fig. 2) has the descriptor C(5) C(6)[R22(9)] (Bernstein et al., 1995). Two chains of this type run through each unit cell, in the domains 0.06 < z < 0.44 and 0.56 < z < 0.94, and within each domain, the adjacent chains are linked into a (001) sheet by the C—H···π(pyrazole) interactions. Atom C19 in the molecule at (x, y, z), which lies in the hydrogen-bonded chain along (1, y, 1/4), forms a short C—H···π contact (Table 2) with the centroid, Cg2, of the pyrazole ring of the molecule at (1 - x, -0.5 + y, 0.5 - z), which itself lies in the hydrogen-bonded chain along (1/2, y, 1/4) (Fig. 3). Propagation of this interaction thus links all of the [010] chains in a given domain of z into a single sheet. Two sheets run through each unit cell, but there are no direction-specific interactions between adjacent sheets.
The structure of the isomeric compound (II) (see Scheme above) has recently been reported in space group P21/c (Low et al., 2002). The supramolecular structure was described in terms of a single hydrogen bond, N51—H51···N43i [symmetry code: (i) x, y, 1 + z], forming C(8) chains by translation. However, re-examination of the structure of (II) in the light of the above analysis for (I), shows that there is also a short N—H···π(triazole) interaction, involving the N51—H52 bond, which does not participate in conventional hydrogen bonding, and the centroid (Cg2) of the triazole ring; H52···Cg2ii 2.72 Å, N51···Cg2ii 3.477 (2) Å and N51—H52···Cg2ii 146° [symmetry code: (ii) x, 0.5 - y, 0.5 + z]. This interaction produces a zigzag chain parallel to [001], generated by the c-glide plane at y = -0.25. The combination of N—H···N and N—H···π interactions thus generates a double chain, or molecular ladder (Fig. 4).
Since C—H···π interactions most frequently involve benzenoid rings as acceptors (Desiraju & Steiner, 1999; Suezawa et al., 2001), with rather few examples involving heterocycles, we have briefly investigated the occurrence of C—H···π(pyrazole) interactions by examining the structures of pyrazoles in the Cambridge Structural Database (CSD; Allen & Kennard, 1993) containing the fragment (III), namely a pyrazole ring carrying the same substituent atoms as found in (I). Nine examples were retrieved; the structures of three of these contained only C—H···π(arene) interactions, those of five others contained no C—H···π interactions at all, but the structure of the ninth [CSD refcode TIXPEV, (IV); Ramm et al., 1996], which crystallizes in space group P21/a with Z' = 2, displays quite short C—H···.π(pyrazole) interactions, such that the two independent molecules each form simple chains. For the type 1 molecules, the chain is generated by the a-glide plane at y = -0.25 [H···Cg1iii 2.84 Å, C···Cg1iii 3.645 (2) Å and C—H···Cg1iii 127°; symmetry code: (iii) -0.5 + x, -0.5 - y, z] (Fig. 5), while for the type 2 molecules, the chain is generated by the a-glide plane at y = 0.25 [H···Cg2iv 2.69 Å, C···Cg2iv,3.537 (2) Å and C—H···Cg2iv 145°; symmetry code: (iv) 0.5 + x, 0.5 - y, z] (Fig. 6), where Cg1 and Cg2 represent the ring centroids of the pyrazole rings in the molecules of types 1 and 2, respectively.
