J.-Z. Cui, H. Zhang, D. Zhang, H.-T. Wang and H.-L. Gao

Abstract: The molecular structure of the title compound, C₁₃H₁₇NO₄, has no symmetry plane because one C atom of the ethyl group lies out of the plane defined by the other non-H atoms. In the crystal structure, the molecules stack along the a axis. Symmetry-related molecules are linked by a C-HO hydrogen bond, forming zigzag chains extending in the b-axis direction.
