2-Acetyl-3-(5-cyano-2-furyl)propenenitrile

The crystal structure of the title compound, C₁₀H₆N₂O₂, consists of relatively isolated molecules, the shortest intermolecular contacts [C—H...O; 2.51 (2) ; C—H...N 2.50 (1) and 2.60 (2) Å] indicate the presence of weak hydrogen bonding. As indicated by the planarity of the molecule and the pattern of bond lengths, the π-electron delocalization extends over the whole molecule.
