title: 2-Amino-4-methyl-4,5,6,7-tetrahydro-1-benzothiophene-3-carbonitrile.
abstract: In the title compound, C(10)H(12)N(2)S, the thio-phene ring is essentially planar (r.m.s. deviation = 0.0290 Å). The two C atoms of the cyclo-hexene ring (at positions 6 and 7) are disordered over two sets of sites in a 0.810 (5):0.190 (5) ratio. The cyclo-hexene rings in both the major and minor occupancy conformers adopt a half-chair conformation. In the crystal, there are two types of N-H⋯N inter-action. One of these results in centrosymmetric head-to-head dimers corresponding to an R(2) (2)(12) graph-set motif and the other forms a 20-membered macrocyclic ring involving six mol-ecules.
