The title compound, C11H9N3O2, exists in the E conformation with respect to the azomethane C=N bond, and has the keto form. There are two independent molecules in the asymmetric unit and each of these features a slight slanting of the pyridine and furan rings, which form a dihedral angle of 14.96 (10)° in one of the molecules and 5.53 (10)° in the other. The crystal structure is stabilized by N—H...O and N—H...N hydrogen bonds, weak C—H...O and C—H...N hydrogen bonds and C—H...π interactions and π–π interactions [shortest centroid–centroid distance = 3.7864 (15) Å].
