Background:

• Understanding the three-dimensional structure of organic molecules is crucial for predicting their properties and designing new materials.
• Benzofuran derivatives are prevalent in pharmaceuticals and organic electronics.

Purpose of the Study:

• To elucidate the crystal structure and intermolecular interactions of a specific benzofuran derivative (C10H9NO3).
• To provide detailed structural information for potential applications in materials science.

Main Methods:

• Single-crystal X-ray diffraction was employed to determine the molecular and crystal structure.
• Analysis of hydrogen bonding networks and dihedral angles was performed.

Main Results:

• The crystal structure of C10H9NO3 was determined, showing a dihedral angle of 83.76° between the benzofuran system and the -C-C(O)-N- segment.
• N-H⋯O and O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds were identified, leading to the formation of (001) sheets with specific chain motifs (C(4) and C(10)).

Conclusions:

• The study provides precise crystallographic data for C10H9NO3.
• The observed hydrogen bonding patterns suggest potential for self-assembly and supramolecular chemistry applications.
