(Z)-Ethyl 2-cyano-3-(1H-imidazol-2-yl)acrylate

The crystal structure of the title compound, C₉H₉N₃O₂, features N—H...N and C—H...O inter­actions. The N—H...N inter­action generates a chain running along the a axis and the C—H...O inter­action generates a chain along the c axis. An intra­molecular C—H...O inter­action is also observed.
