Abstract

The structures of 1-benzyl-4-nitroso-5-aminopyrazole (1) and its hydrochloride (1H(+)) have been determined in the solid state and in solution in DMSO, methanol, and ethanol. The free base exists in solution as a mixture of amino/nitroso tautomers 2a and 2b rather than in the imino/oxime tautomers 3. The conjugated cation 1H(+) results from the protonation of the nitroso group. X-ray crystallography showed that both amino hydrogen atoms of 2a form NH...O=N hydrogen bonds: one is intramolecular, the other links adjacent molecules in an infinite chain.
