The title compound, C5H6ClN3, was synthesized by the reaction of 2,3-dichloropyridine and hydrazine hydrate. An intramolecular N-H...Cl hydrogen bond results in the formation of a planar (mean deviation 0.038 Å) five-membered ring. In the crystal, intermolecular N-H...N hydrogen bonds link the molecules into a three-dimensional network.
