3-Methyl-1-benzofuran-2-carbohydrazide

In the asymmetric unit of the title benzofuran derivative, C(10)H(10)N(2)O(2), there are three crystallograpically independent mol­ecules, which are slightly twisted; the dihedral angle between the benzofuran ring system and the plane of the carbohydrazide unit is 8.64 (11)° in one mol­ecule, whereas the dihedral angles are 9.58 (11) and 6.89 (10)° in the other two mol­ecules. In the crystal, the three independent mol­ecules are linked to each other through N—H⋯N hydrogen bonds, forming a trimer. The trimers are further linked by weak N—H⋯O and C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds into a three-dimensional network. π–π inter­actions with centroid–centroid distances in the range 3.4928 (11)–3.8561 (10) Å are also observed.
