The title compound, C(17)H(14)ClN(7), crystallizes with two independent mol-ecules in the asymmetric unit. Inter-molecular N-H⋯N and C-H⋯N hydrogen bonds contribute to the stability of the crystal structure. In addition, weak C-H⋯π and π-π stacking [centroid-centroid distances of 3.699 (8) and 3.699 (6) Å] interactions are observed.
