In the title compound, C14H11N3OS·C2H5OH, the dihedral angle between the pyridine N—Cfused—Cfused—C(thiophene) plane and the plane of the thiophene ring is 81.9 (3)°, indicating that they are close to perpendicular. The dihedral angle between this pyridine plane and the benzene ring is 1.3 (3)°. The thiophene ring is disordered over two coplanar orientations with an occupancy ratio of 0.692 (7):0.308 (7), while the ethanol solvent molecule is also disordered over two sets of site in a 0.66 (4):0.34 (4) ratio. In the crystal, chains are formed along the b axis by N—HO and O—HN interactions with adjacent chains being connected through C—HN and C—HS interactions.
