In the title compound, C(12)H(9)FN(2)OS, the thienyl ring is disordered over two positions, with the S atom of the major component [occupancy = 87.08 (16)°] oriented towards the ortho-H atom of the benzene ring. The mol-ecule is nearly planar, the dihedral angle between the thio-phene and benzene rings being 13.0 (2)° in the major component. The azomethine C=N double bond in the mol-ecule is of an E configuration. In the crystal, mol-ecules are linked by pairs of N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds, forming inversion dimers.
