Abstract
The structure of the title compound, C7H6N6, consists of almost planar molecules with C—N distances of 1.429 (2) and 1.428 (2) Å. The H atoms of the methyl group are disordered over two sites with occupancy factors of 0.69 and 0.31. The azide groups show typical geometry for covalently bound azides.
Related literature
The preparation of the title compound by a slightly different procedure was reported by Chapyshev & Tomioka (2003 ▶). For the comparable compound, 2-azidobenzyl bromide, see: Klapötke et al. (2003 ▶).

Comment
The structure of the title compound exhibits C–N distances [C2–N1 1.429 (2) and C6–N4 1.428 (2) Å] similar to the distance in 2-N3C6H4CH2Br [1.428 (5) Å, Klapötke et al., 2003]. The values of both azide groups are in the common range for covalent azide groups with longer Nα–Nβ distances [N1–N2 1.241 (2) and N4–N5 1.253 (2) Å] and shorter terminal Nβ–Nγ distances [N2–N3 1.133 (2) and N5–N6 1.122 (2) Å] with more triple bond character. The azide angles are slightly bent [N1–N2–N3 172.98 (18) and N4–N5–N6 172.36 (17)°].
Experimental
The title compound was prepared according the literature [Chapyshev & Tomioka (2003)], slightly modified, e.g. the column chromatography was performed with hexane/chloroform (1:4) as an eluent. Colorless crystals were obtained by slow evaporation of a chloroform solution. 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3, Me4Si): δ 7.23 (tq, 4-H, 3JH–H = 8.1 Hz, 6JH—H = 0.5 Hz, 1H), 6.89 (d, 3-H, 2H), 2.05 (m, CH3, 3H) p.p.m.; 13C NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3, Me4Si): δ 140.0/127.2/121.3/114.0 (Ar—C), 11.2 (CH3) p.p.m.; 15N NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3, MeNO2) δ -139.5 (Nβ), -149.0 (Nγ), -291.4 (Nα) p.p.m..

Special details
| Refinement. Aromatic H atoms were placed in idealized positions and allowed to ride on their respective parent atoms, with C–H = 0.95 (CaromH) and with Uiso(H) = kUeq(carrier atom), where k = 1.2 for CH. The H atoms attached to methyl C7 are disordered over two sites. These were freely refined; the occupancy of the major disorder component is 0.69 (5). The highest peak and deepest hole in the final difference map were located 0.93 Å from atom H7B and 0.32 Å from atom H7A, respectively. |
