title: 4-Amino-phthalimide.
abstract: The mol-ecules in the title compound (systematic name: 5-aminoisoindole-1,3-dione), C(8)H(6)N(2)O(2), are packed through N-H⋯O inter-molecular hydrogen-bonding inter-actions. Two types of hydrogen bonds are observed: one, involving the imide group, forms mol-ecular chains along the c axis and another two, involving the amino group, connect the mol-ecular chains.
