(Received 18 October 2007; accepted 10 December 2007; online 21 December 2007)

In the title compound, C12H16N4O2, the dihedral angle between the two pyrazole rings is 78.17 (7)°. Inter­molecular O—H⋯N hydrogen bonds link the mol­ecules into one-dimensional chains along the c axis.

Comment top

The title compound, C12H16N4O2, was synthesized through the protonation of bis(3,5-dimethylpyrazol-1-yl)acetate. This compound was used to prepare 2,2-bis(3,5-dimethylpyrazol-1-yl)ethanol, which was the reagent for the NNO monoanionic heteroscorpionate ligand (Otero et al., 2004). Intermolecular O—H···N hydrogen bonds link the molecules into one-dimensional chains along the c axis (Fig. 2 and Table 1). The dihedral angle between the two pyrazol rings is 78.17 (7)°.

Experimental top

The title compound was synthesized according to the literature procedure (Otero et al., 2004). Single crystals of the compound suitable for X-ray analysis were obtained by diffusion of ether into a THF solution.

Refinement top

All H-atoms except the H atom of the acid group, which was refined isotropically, were positioned geometrically and included in the refinement using a riding model with C—H = 0.98 Å, Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C) for C(sp3)—H, C—H = 0.96 Å, Uiso(H) = 1.5Ueq(C) for CH3, and C—H = 0.93 Å, Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C) for C(sp2)—H.
