K. Takahashi, T. Okamura, H. Yamamoto and N. Ueyama

Abstract: The title novel carboxylic acid derivative, C₉H₁₇NO₃, containing the tert-butylcarbamoyl group, has been synthesized by the reaction of glutaric anhydride and tert-butylamine. In the crystal structure, this compound forms intermolecular hydrogen bonds between the amide and carboxyl groups. However, it does not form a hydrogen-bonded dimer involving two carboxylic acid groups.
