The crystal structures of 4-benzyl-1H-pyrazole (C10H10N2, 1) and 3,5-diamino-4-benzyl-1H-pyrazole (C10H12N4, 2) were measured at 150 K. Although its different conformers and atropenantiomers easily interconvert in solution by annular and/or rotation of the benzyl substituent around the C(pyrazole)—C(CH2) single bond (as revealed by 1H NMR spectroscopy), 1 crystallizes in the non-centrosymmetric P21. Within its the pyrazole and phenyl aromatic moieties are organized into alternating bilayers. Both pyrazole and phenyl layers consist of aromatic rings stacked into columns in two orthogonal directions. Within the pyrazole layer, the pyrazole rings form parallel catemers by N—H⋯N hydrogen bonding. Compound 2 adopts a similar bilayer structure, albeit in the centrosymmetric P21/c, with pyrazole N—H protons as donors in N—H⋯π hydrogen bonds with neighboring pyrazole rings, and NH2 protons as donors in N—H⋯N hydrogen bonds with adjacent pyrazoles and other NH2 moieties. The crystal structures and supramolecular features of 1 and 2 are contrasted with the two known structures of their analogs, 3,5-dimethyl-4-benzyl-1H-pyrazole and 3,5-diphenyl-4-benzyl-1H-pyrazole.

1. Chemical context
1H-Pyrazole (pzH) is a chemically and thermally robust organic molecule (Katritzky et al., 2010). Hence, its functionalized derivatives have found widespread applications as pharmaceuticals, pesticides and dyes (Ahmed et al., 2016 and references therein). Owing to its adjacent pair of N atoms, pyrazole derivatives are also very popular in coordination chemistry, especially for the construction of discrete polynuclear complexes (Al Isawi et al., 2021 and references therein). Within the crystal packing of pyrazole derivatives with different substituents, N—H⋯N hydrogen bonding between pz moieties leads to either discrete hydrogen-bonded motifs, such as dimers, trimers, tetramers and hexamers, or polymeric catemers depending on the substituents (Alkorta et al., 2006; Bertolasi et al., 1999; Cammers & Parkin, 2004; Claramunt et al., 2006; Foces-Foces et al., 2000). In general, the overall is the result of the interplay of optimal shape packing and multiple different intermolecular forces, including electrostatic interactions, hydrophobic effects, aromatic interactions, hydrogen bonding with potential hydrogen-bond donor/acceptor substituents, halogen bonding and other non-covalent interactions.
2. Structural commentary
Displacement ellipsoid plots of the crystal structures of 1 and 2 are shown in Figs. 1 and 2, respectively. Similarly to the parent pyrazole (La Cour & Rasmussen, 1973; Sikora & Katrusiak, 2013) and 4-fluoropyrazole (Ahmed et al., 2023), the NH and N centers of the pz rings in 1 and 2 are not disordered and two distinct sets of C—N and C—C bond distances are observed. Thus, the C—N bond adjacent to N is shorter than the one adjacent to NH, whereas the C—C bond adjacent to N is longer than the one adjacent to NH (see supporting information). This is in contrast with other pyrazole derivatives, such as 4-phenylpyrazole (Reger et al., 2003) and 4-halopyrazoles (halogen = Cl, Br, I; Rue & Raptis, 2021; Foces-Foces et al., 1999; Rue et al., 2023), where the N—H hydrogen atom is disordered over the two N atoms of the pyrazole unit. Otherwise, the N—N, C—N and C—C bond lengths in 1 and 2 are similar to those observed in related pyrazole derivatives. C—C—C bond angles between the pz, CH2 and Ph units are 63.85 (15)° in 1 and 65.65 (9)° in 2, with pz/Ph centroid–centroid distances of 4.8294 (10) and 4.7376 (9) Å, respectively. While the dihedral angles between the pz and Ph units in 1 and 2 are not very disparate [86.00 (7) and 65.27 (4)°], the corresponding individual fold and twist angles are rather different. Specifically, the fold angle is much smaller in 1 [17.52 (12)°] than in 2 [76.12 (8)°], whereas the twist angle is much larger in 1 [65.00 (4)°] than in 2 [7.42 (6)°].
An interesting difference between the structures of 1 (P21) and 2 (P21/c) is related to their crystal symmetry. Although 4-benzyl-1H-pyrazole displays axial (atropisomerism; Basilaia et al., 2022) in the described here, the two atropenantiomers can interconvert in solution by rotation of the benzyl substituent around the C(pz)—C(CH2) single bond (Fig. 3). Even if the direct conversion of conformer A to conformer B by rotation of the benzyl group from one side to the other side of the pz moiety would meet a significant barrier (caused by bulky substituents on the pz ring), A can still convert to B through its annular tautomer C. The latter converts to B by a same-side rotation of the benzyl group. Despite the facile interconversion of its different conformers (A–D), evidenced by a single resonance for the two pyrazole C—H protons in its 1H NMR spectrum (Fig. 4), 1 adopts a chiral (in the achiral, yet non-centrosymmetric P21; Flack, 2003). This must be the result of a more efficient crystal packing in the non-centrosymmetric (detailed in the next section) than in a centrosymmetric one.
3. Supramolecular features
The pz moieties in 1 are organized into layers along the ab plane, which consist of two symmetry-related (by a 21 screw axis) halves (Fig. 5). Within each half, the pz moieties are all parallel to each other (crystallographically imposed) and are organized into parallel columns along both the a and b axes (which are orthogonal), with pz–pz interplanar distances of 3.540 (4) and 2.184 (5) Å, and centroid–centroid distances of 5.6651 (5) and 5.7566 (6) Å, respectively. The two halves of the pz layer are connected by edge-to-face pz–pz interactions with dihedral angles of 44.59 (11)° and centroid–centroid distances of 4.3813 (12) Å (closest H⋯pz-plane and H⋯pz-centroid distances: 2.7021 (8) and 2.7052 (8) Å), as well as by N—H⋯N hydrogen bonding between pz moieties (Table 1), which leads to catemers along the b axis with pz/pz dihedral angles of 44.59 (11)° and centroid–centroid distances of 4.3813 (12) Å).
Similarly to the pz moieties, the phenyl moieties of 1 also form layers along the ab plane, with two 21 screw axis-related halves comprised of parallel columns along both the a and b axes [Ph–Ph interplanar distances of 2.557 (4) and 3.516 (4) Å, and centroid–centroid distances of 5.6651 (5) and 5.7566 (6) Å, respectively]. Edge-to-face Ph–Ph interactions connect the two halves of the Ph layer, with dihedral angles of 75.29 (9)° and centroid–centroid distances of 4.8833 (11) Å [closest H⋯Ph-plane and H⋯Ph-centroid distances: 2.7962 (10) and 2.8660 (7) Å].
The benzyl protons of 1 are involved in C—H⋯π hydrogen bonding with neighboring pz and Ph moieties, with H⋯pz/Ph-plane, H⋯pz/Ph-centroid and closest H⋯N/C distances of 2.6778 (16), 3.1016 (8), 2.7399 (17), and 2.503 (2), 3.3598 (9), 2.659 (2) Å, respectively.
In 2, the pz moieties form layers along the bc plane, which are comprised of two 21 screw axis-related halves as in 1 (Fig. 6). Here, however, the pz moieties are only parallel within individual columns and in every second column, with dihedral angles between neighboring inter-columnar pz moieties of 85.71 (7)° [centroid–centroid distance: 5.9674 (8) Å]. Within each column, the pz–pz interplanar and centroid–centroid distances are 3.4653 (18) and 4.7271 (7) Å, respectively. The two halves of the pz layer are connected by edge-to-face interactions characterized by dihedral angles of 85.71 (7)° and centroid–centroid distances of 4.5404 (9) Å [closest H⋯pz-plane, H⋯pz-centroid and H⋯N distances: 1.974 (16), 2.769 (16) and 2.108 (16) Å], as well as by N—H⋯N hydrogen bonding (Table 2). Unlike in 1, this inter-layer hydrogen bonding in 2 occurs between NH2 donor and N(pz) acceptor moieties, while the N—H(pz) hydrogen atom is involved in an N—H⋯π interaction. Within each half-layer, there are additional hydrogen bonds between neighboring NH2 groups, one on each side of the pz moieties (Table 2). Since there are five N—H hydrogen-bond donors but only four hydrogen-bond acceptors in 2, one of the NH2 hydrogen atoms does not have a hydrogen-bond acceptor. Instead, an N—H⋯π interaction is formed with a neighboring Ph moiety, with H⋯Ph-plane, H⋯Ph-centroid and closest H⋯C distances of 2.840 (15), 3.363 (15) and 2.956 (15) Å, respectively.
Similarly to 1, the phenyl moieties of 2 form layers but along the bc plane, which are analogous to the layers formed by its pz moieties with dihedral angles of 85.07 (6)° between neighboring inter-columnar Ph moieties [centroid–centroid distance: 6.0946 (8) Å]. Within each column, the Ph–Ph interplanar and centroid–centroid distances are 3.4833 (18) and 4.7271 (7) Å, respectively. Because the Ph moieties in neighboring columns are not parallel, two types of Ph–Ph interactions are present between the two halves of the Ph layer. Edge-to-face interactions are characterized by dihedral angles of 85.07 (6)° and centroid–centroid distances of 5.4925 (10) Å [closest H⋯Ph-plane and H⋯Ph-centroid distances: 2.8014 (3) and 3.4126 (6) Å], in addition to offset stacked interactions between parallel Ph moieties with inter-planar and centroid–centroid distances of 1.997 (3) and 6.0466 (13) Å, respectively.
In 2, only one of the benzyl protons is involved in C—H⋯π hydrogen bonding with neighboring pz moieties, characterized by H⋯pz-plane, H⋯pz-centroid and closest H⋯C distances of 2.9081 (9), 3.2096 (5) and 2.9183 (11) Å, respectively.
4. Database survey
Two crystal structures of simple derivatives of 4-benzyl-1H-pyrazole are known, namely 3,5-dimethyl-4-benzyl-1H-pyrazole (3; Wang & Kong, 2011; CCDC refcode: OBUHOK) and 3,5-diphenyl-4-benzyl-1H-pyrazole (4; Huang et al., 2007; CCDC refcode: XEYYAC). Interestingly, 3,5-dimethyl-4-benzyl-1H-pyrazole crystallizes in the same (P21) as its parent compound, 4-benzyl-1H-pyrazole (1), instead of the centrosymmetric (P21/c) of its structurally more similar 3,5-diamino-4-benzyl-1H-pyrazole (2). This is likely due to the hydrogen-bond donor/acceptor ability of the NH2 groups of 2 compared to the CH3 groups of 3.
Not only does 3 crystallize in the same as 1, but it also adopts a very similar crystal packing in a of comparable dimensions [a = 6.2303 (6) Å; b = 5.5941 (5) Å; c = 15.1364 (15) Å; β = 97.049 (1)°]. Notably, its c axis is longer than in 1 [13.2321 (9) Å] to accommodate the bulkier CH3 group compared to H. The C—C—C bond angle of 66.3 (3)° between the pz, CH2 and Ph units is closer to that of 2 [65.65 (8)°], with a pz/Ph centroid–centroid distance of 4.6524 (2) Å, shorter than in both 1 and 2. The dihedral angle of 78.65 (13)° between the pz and Ph units in 3 is in-between the values of 1 and 2, with individual fold and twist angles of 60.60 (14) and 52.27 (16)°.
The supramolecular features of 3 are similar to those of 1, with a slightly expanded crystal packing due to the presence of the CH3 groups. Thus, the parallel columns along the a and b axes feature pz–pz interplanar distances of 2.995 (8) and 3.514 (7) Å, and centroid–centroid distances of 6.2303 (6) and 5.5941 (5) Å, respectively. The edge-to-face orientation of the pz/pz pairs within the two halves of the pz layer is described by a dihedral angle of 77.83 (18)° and centroid–centroid distance of 5.8969 (19) Å, which are significantly larger than the corresponding values in 1 [44.59 (11)° and 4.3813 (12) Å]. The N—H⋯N hydrogen bonding between pz moieties leading to catemers along the b axis is characterized by N—H, H⋯N and N⋯N distances of 0.86, 2.09 and 2.946 (4) Å, with an N—H⋯N angle of 170°, pz/pz dihedral angle of 77.83 (18)° and centroid–centroid distance of 4.9789 (19) Å. The corresponding values for the Ph–Ph interactions along the a and b axes are 2.202 (11) and 3.772 (7) Å (interplanar) and 6.2302 (6) and 5.5941 (5) Å (centroid–centroid), whereas between the two halves of the Ph layer the values are 84.8 (2)° (dihedral angle) and 5.066 (3) Å (centroid–centroid), with closest H⋯Ph-plane and H⋯Ph-centroid distances of 2.863 (3) and 3.1738 (17) Å. Similarly to 1, the methyl and benzyl protons are involved in various C—H⋯π interactions with neighboring pz and Ph moieties.
3,5-Diphenyl-4-benzyl-1H-pyrazole (4) crystallizes in the centrosymmetric P21/c. As opposed to 1–3, however, the N—H⋯N hydrogen bonding between pz moieties does not lead to catemers. Instead, 4 forms hydrogen-bonded dimers, with an overall crystal packing very different from the ones of 1–3.
5. Synthesis and crystallization
4-Benzyl-1H-pyrazole (1) was synthesized by reduction with hypophosphorous acid of 3,5-diamino-4-benzyl-1H-pyrazole (2) (Echevarría & Elguero, 1993), which in turn was obtained from benzylmalononitrile by reaction with hydrazine hydrate (Vaquero et al., 1987). The synthesis of benzylmalononitrile by alkylation of malononitrile with benzyl bromide provided the monobenzylated product contaminated with large amounts of dibenzylated side product (Díez-Barra et al., 1991). Therefore, an alternate method, by the reaction of malononitrile with benzaldehyde and reduction of the benzylidenemalononitrile intermediate with NaBH4 was used for the preparation of pure benzylmalononitrile in high yield (Tayyari et al., 2008). Single crystals were grown by recrystallization from hot n-heptane (1) or by vapor diffusion of benzene into a solution in pyridine at room temperature (2).
6. Refinement
Crystal data, data collection and structure . C—H bond distances were constrained to 0.95 Å (pz and Ph) or 0.99 Å (CH2) and refined as riding. Positions of N-bound H atoms were freely refined. Uiso(H) values were set to 1.2 or 1.5 times Ueq(C/N) for H atoms.

Geometry. All esds (except the esd in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell esds are taken into account individually in the estimation of esds in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between esds in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell esds is used for estimating esds involving l.s. planes. |

Geometry. All esds (except the esd in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell esds are taken into account individually in the estimation of esds in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between esds in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell esds is used for estimating esds involving l.s. planes. |
