Abstract:
The title compound, C(11)H(15)NO(2), crystallized in the centrosymmetric space group P2(1)/n with one molecule in the asymmetric unit. There is a single intermolecular hydrogen bond, in which the N(donor).O(acceptor) distance is 3.0374 (11) A and the N-H. O angle is 171.0 (12) degrees. The single intramolecular hydrogen bond has an O(donor).O(acceptor) distance of 2.6279 (11) A and an O-H.O angle of 161.8 (14) degrees. The four leading intermolecular C-H.O interactions have H.O distances ranging from 2.52 to 2.65 (2) A and C-H.O angles ranging from 125.2 (9) to 143 degrees. Chains of interactions form two-dimensional networks.
