The title compound C(6)H(12)N(4), is one of a few known tetra-zoles with an alkyl chain in the 5-position. The asymmetric unit contains two independent mol-ecules. The mol-ecules are linked by N-H⋯N inter-actions into chains with graph-set notation D(2) and C(2) (2)(8) along [010]. The two independent mol-ecules form a layered structure, the layers being composed of inter-digitating strands of alternatingly oriented and nearly identical mol-ecules.
