V. N. Nesterov, E. A. Viltchinskaia and S. V. Nesterova

Abstract: In the structure of the title compound, C₁₁H₉N₃O, the molecule is almost planar; the dihedral angle between the o-methoxyaniline and dicyanoethylene fragments is 4.8  (1)°. There is a weak conjugation between these fragments of the molecule. An intramolecular N-HO hydrogen bond forms a planar five-membered ring. Molecules form stacks with head-to-head orientations in the crystal. Weak intermolecular C-HN hydrogen bonds link molecules into centrosymmetric dimers.
