The structure of the title compound, C 9 H 10 N 2 O 3 , was determined as one of a group of five related compounds in order to assess its suitability as a test material for the 2004 Cambridge Crystallographic Data Centre `Blind Structure Prediction Test'. The molecules are almost planar except for the acetamide group, which is involved in hydrogen bonding. The structure consists of columns of molecules hudrogen bonded into chains parallel to the c axis.
