3-Amino-4,6-dimethylthieno[2,3-b]pyridine-2-carbonitrile

Abstract

The molecule of the title compound, C10H9N3S, is almost planar, with a dihedral angle of 1.38 (4)° between the thiophene and pyridine rings. In the crystal packing, molecules are linked into layers parallel to the ab plane by intermolecular N—H...N hydrogen bonds and by π...π stacking interactions involving adjacent pyridine and thiophene rings with a centroid–centroid distance of 3.537 (3) Å.
