Abstract

In the title compound, C₁₃H₁₂N₄O₂, all the non-H atoms lie on a crystallographic mirror plane and an intra­molecular N-HN hydrogen bond generates an S(5) ring; the conformation about the imine bond [1.280 (3) Å] is E. In the crystal, mol­ecules assemble into a two-dimensional array via C-HO(carbon­yl) and C-HN(pyrazine) contacts. Layers stack along the b-axis direction via weak – inter­actions between pyrazine rings [ring centroid distance = 3.8028 (8) Å].
