title: 3-Oxo-3-(piperidin-1-yl)propane-nitrile.
abstract: In the title compound, C(8)H(12)N(2)O, the piperidine ring exhibits a chair conformation and its least-squares plane (all atoms) makes a dihedral angle of 32.88 (12)° with the propane-nitrile unit (r.m.s. deviation = 0.001 Å). In the crystal, mol-ecules are linked by C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds, forming chains along [001].
