2-Amino-6-methyl-4,5,6,7-tetra­hydro-1-benzothio­phene-3-carbonitrile

In the title compound, C(10)H(12)N(2)S, one of the C atoms of the cyclo­hexene ring (at position 6) and the methyl group attached to it are disordered over two sets of sites in a 0.650 (3):0.350 (3) ratio. The cyclo­hexene ring in both the major and minor occupancy conformers adopts a half-chair conformation. The thio­phene ring is essentially planar (r.m.s. deviation = 0.05 Å). In the crystal, N—H⋯N hydrogen bonds involving the amino groups result in inversion dimers with R (2) (2)(12) graph-set motif. Further N—H⋯N hydrogen bonds involving the amino and carbonitrile groups generate zigzag chains along the a axis.
