title: (5-Meth-oxy-1H-indol-3-yl)acetonitrile.
abstract: In the title compound, C(11)H(10)N(2)O, the O atom and the C atom of the methyl-ene group deviate only slightly [0.029 (3) and 0.055 (3) Å, respectively] from the approximately planar ring system (r.m.s. deviation = 0.013 Å). In the crystal, N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds link the mol-ecules into zigzag chains running along the b axis.
