The title compound, C10H13N3O3, adopts an E conformation with respect to the azomethine bond and crystallizes in the amide form. A classical intramolecular O—HN hydrogen bond is present. The two N atoms of the hydrazinecarboxamide unit are also involved in intermolecular N—HO hydrogen bonds, with the O atom of the hydrazinecarboxamide group acting as the acceptor. Pairs of N—HO hydrogen bond link the molecules into centrosymmetric dimers, which are linked by further N—HO hydrogen bonds into chains along the b axis. The chains are linked by C—Hπ interactions.
