2-Cyclopentylidenehydrazinecarboxamide

Abstract

The asymmetric unit of the title compound, C<inf>6</inf>H <inf>11</inf>N<inf>3</inf>O, consists of two independent molecules in which the cyclo-pentane rings adopt envelope conformations with CH<inf>2</inf> grouping as the flap and the semicarbazone groups are essentially planar, with maximums deviation of 0.0311 (12) and 0.0285 (12) Å. In the crystal, N - H?O, N - H?N and C - H?O hydrogen bonds link the molecules to form sheets lying parallel to the ab plane.
