In the title compound, C12H11N5O2, the molecule adopts an E configuration, with the benzene and pyrazine rings located on opposite sides of the N=C double bond. The face-to-face separations of 3.413 (14) and 3.430 (8) Å, respectively between parallel benzene rings and between pyrazine rings indicate the existence of [pi]-[pi] stacking between adjacent molecules. The crystal structure also contains N-H...N and C-H...O hydrogen bonding.
