Abstract: In the title compound, C₁₁H₁₃NO₃, the pyrrolidin-2-one ring is in an envelope conformation with the hydroxyl and 4-methoxyphenyl substituents mutually cis. The methoxy group is slighty twisted away from the mean plane of the attached benzene ring. The molecules are arranged into screw chains along the c axis. These chains are interconnected via intermolecular O-HO and N-HO hydrogen bonds into sheets parallel to the ac plane. The crystal structure is further stabilized by weak intermolecular C-HO and C-H interactions.
