Abstract: The title compound, C₁₀H₁₀N₂O₂·H₂O, is dimerized by inversion-related intermolecular N-HO hydrogen bonding. There is an intramolecular N-HO bond, resulting in a six-membered ring. Each dimer interacts with other dimers through hydrogen bonding with water molecules. The water molecules are linked to each other in a stair-like chain, thus generating two-dimensional polymeric strips. The dimers are also linked to each other through intermolecular C-HO hydrogen bonding. There are - interactions between the aromatic and heterocyclic five-membered rings [centroid-centroid distance 3.8360 (12) Å]. C-H interactions also exist between CH₂ groups and aromatic rings.
