Abstract

In the title compound, C8H8N2O2, the acetamide unit is inclined to the furan ring by 76.7 (1)°. In the crystal, mol-ecules are linked by N-H⋯O and C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds, generating C(4) chains along [100]. The carbonyl O atom is a bifurcated acceptor and an R (1) 2(6) ring is formed.

Keywords: acetamide; bifurcated hydrogen bonding.; crystal structure; cyano; furan.
