title: Crystal structure of 2-cyano-N-(furan-2-ylmeth-yl)-3-(3-nitro-phen-yl)propanamide.
abstract: In the title compound, C15H11N3O4, the acetamide group is inclined to the furan ring by 66.5 (1)°. The dihedral angle between the furan ring and the benzene ring is 66.8 (1)°. In the crystal, mol-ecules are linked by pairs of N-H⋯N hydrogen bonds, forming inversion dimers with an R 2 (2)(12) ring motif. The dimers are linked via two pairs of C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds to the same acceptor oxygen atom, enclosing R 2 (1)(6) ring motifs, forming chains along the [101] direction.
