Abstract: The title compound, C₁₀H₁₁ClN₄, also known as acetamiprid, is a potent chemical found to exhibit insecticidal activity. The dihedral angle between the planes passing through the 6-chloropyridine ring and the N'-cyano-N-methylimidoformamide moiety is 76.7 (1) Å. The crystal structure is stabilized by C-HN intermolecular interactions.
