Description:
In the title compound, C9H10N2O, the imidazo[1,2-a]pyridine moiety is approximately planar (r.m.s. deviation = 0.024 Å). The methanol group is nearly perpendicular to its mean plane as indicated by the C—C—C—O and N—C—C—O torsion angles of 80.04 (16) and −96.30 (17)°, respectively. In the crystal, molecules are linked by O—H...N hydrogen bonds, forming inversion dimers with anR22(10) ring motif. The dimers are likedviaC—H...O hydrogen bonds, enclosingR22(10) ring motifs and forming ribbons along [201]. The ribbons are linkedviaa number of π–π interactions [centroid–centroid distances vary from 3.4819 (8) to 3.7212 (8) Å], forming a three-dimensional structure.
