N′-[(E)-Furan-2-yl­methyl­idene]pyridine-3-carbohydrazide

The title compound, C(11)H(9)N(3)O(2), exists in the E conformation with respect to the azomethane C=N bond, and has the keto form. There are two independent mol­ecules in the asymmetric unit and each of these features a slight slanting of the pyridine and furan rings, which form a dihedral angle of 14.96 (10)° in one of the mol­ecules and 5.53 (10)° in the other. The crystal structure is stabilized by N—H⋯O and N—H⋯N hydrogen bonds, weak C—H⋯O and C—H⋯N hydrogen bonds and C—H⋯π inter­actions and π–π inter­actions [shortest centroid–centroid distance = 3.7864 (15) Å].
