The title compound, C10H10N2O2, was synthesized by the reaction of the oxime of 2-acetylpyridine and 3-bromopropanoyl chloride in the presence of triethylamine. The molecule adopts a nearly planar chain-extended conformation with the oxime group in a trans and the acryloyl group in an s-cis conformation. This conformation is stabilized by an intramolecular C—H...N hydrogen bond. The screw-related molecules are linked into C(9) chains by C—H...O hydrogen bonds.
