Abstract: In the title compound, C₈H₈N₂O, the N-CH₂ and CH₂-O bond lengths can be correlated to the manifestation of an anomeric effect in the N-CH₂-O moiety. In the crystal, intermolecular O-HN hydrogen bonds link the molecules into zigzag chains, with graph-set motif C(6), parallel to [001]. These chains are further linked into sheets by weak nonclassical C-HO hydrogen bonds.
