title: 5-Amino-3-(4-pyrid-yl)isoxazole.
abstract: In the title compound, C(8)H(7)N(3)O, there are two independent mol-ecules in the asymmetric unit, in which the angles between the pyridine ring and the isoxazole ring are 35.8 (6) and 10.6 (2)°. The crystal packing is stabilized by N-H⋯N hydrogen bonds, which result in the mol-ecules forming a two-dimensional supra-molecular layer.
