title: N-Acryloyl glycinamide.
abstract: The mol-ecule of the title compound [systematic name: N-(carbamoylmeth-yl)prop-2-enamide], C(5)H(8)N(2)O(2), which can be radically polymerized to polymers with thermoresponsive behavior in aqueous solution, consists of linked essentially planar acryl-amide and amide segments [maximum deviations = 0.054 (1) and 0.009 (1) Å] with an angle of 81.36 (7)° between their mean planes. In the crystal, N-H⋯O hydrogen bonding leads to an infinite two-dimensional network along (100).
