Crystal structure of 3-amino-2-ethylquinazolin-4(3H)-one

The mol­ecule of the title compound, C10H11N3O, is planar, including the ethyl group, as indicated by the N-C-C-C torsion angle of 1.5 (2)°. In the crystal, inversion-related mol­ecules are stacked along the a axis. Mol­ecules are oriented head-to-tail and display [pi]-[pi] inter­actions with a centroid-to-centroid distance of 3.6664 (8) Å. N-H...O hydrogen bonds between mol­ecules generate a `step' structure through formation of an R22(10) ring
