In the molecular structure of the title compound, C16H13N3, the cyclohexa-1,3-diene ring displays a screw-boat conformation and the pyridine ring is twisted by a dihedral angle of 29.13 (9)° with respect to the pyrazole ring. Molecules are linked into a supramolecular structure by N-H...N hydrogen bonding.
