(E)-1-(Pyridin-2-yl)ethanone O-acryloyloxime

M. Mojzych, Z. Karczmarzyk and A. Fruzinski

Abstract: The title compound, C₁₀H₁₀N₂O₂, was synthesized by the reaction of the oxime of 2-acetylpyridine and 3-bromopropanoyl chloride in the presence of triethylamine. The molecule adopts a nearly planar chain-extended conformation with the oxime group in a trans and the acryloyl group in an s-cis conformation. This conformation is stabilized by an intramolecular C-HN hydrogen bond. The screw-related molecules are linked into C(9) chains by C-HO hydrogen bonds.
