(S)-2-(1,3-Dioxoisoindolin-2-yl)propanoic acid

J. Li and Z.-P. Liang

Abstract: The title compound, C₁₁H₉NO₄, was synthesized by mixing phthalic anhydride and (S)-2-aminopropanoic acid in acetic acid. The dihedral angle between the phthalimide ring system and the O3/O4/C9/C11 plane is 86.7 (3)°. The crystal structure is stabilized by weak O-HO hydrogen bonds.
