4-Methyl-3-nitropyridin-2-amine

Abstract

In the title compound, C6H7N3O2, the dihedral angle between the nitro group and the pyridine ring is 15.5 (3)° and an intramolecular N—H...O hydrogen bond occurs. In the crystal, inversion dimers linked by two N—H...N hydrogen bonds occur, resulting in R22(8) rings. The packing is stabilized by aromatic π–π stacking [centroid–centroid distance = 3.5666 (15) Å] and a short N—O...π contact is seen.
