The title compound crystallizes in the space group P21/c, with a=21.466(6), b=7.762(3), c=14.481(3)Å, and β=107.1(3)°, with two independent molecules in the asymmetric unit, which are quite similar. The phenyl and the pyrazole rings are approximately perpendicular to each other. The longer Nmath> N bond accounts for the cleavage of azides.
