2-Allyl-7-nitro-2H-indazole

The asymmetric unit of the title compound, C(10)H(9)N(3)O(2), contains two independent mol­ecules linked by a C—H⋯N hydrogen bond. Each mol­ecule has a similar conformation, being built up from fused five- and six-membered rings, each linked to an ally and nitro group, respectively. The indazole ring system makes dihedral angles of 2.7 (2) and 2.2 (2)°, respectively, with the plane through the nitro group. The allyl group is nearly perpendicular to the indazole system, as indicated by the N—N—C—C torsion angles of −75.3 (2) and −82.2 (2)°, this being the most important difference between the conformations of the two mol­ecules. In the crystal, mol­ecules are linked by C—H⋯O and π–π [inter-centroid distance = 3.6225 (8) Å] inter­actions to form a three-dimensional network.
