(3,5-Dimethyl-1H-pyrazol-1-yl)trimethylsilane

Abstract

The title compound, C8H16N2Si, crystallizes in the the orthorhombic space group P212121 with one molecule in the asymmetric unit. The Si—N bond is 1.782 (2) Å, which is substantially longer than is found in comparable (3,5-dimethylpyrazolyl)silanes. The trimethylsilyl group adopts a staggered conformation with respect to the planar 3,5-dimethylpyrazolyl unit. C—H...N hydrogen bonds between neighboring molecules form a strand of molecules along the b-axis direction.
