Abstract:
Hydrogen bonds of four types (N-H...O=C, N-H...OH, O-H...O=C and O-H...OH) connect molecules of the title compound, C(14)H(20)N(2)O(4), in the crystal into sheets folded into a zigzag pattern. The intermolecular interactions are discussed in terms of the first- through fourth-level graph sets, and a constructor graph helps visualize the supramolecular assembly.
