J. Seuring, S. Agarwal and K. Harms

Abstract: The molecule of the title compound [systematic name: N-(carbamoylmethyl)prop-2-enamide], C₅H₈N₂O₂, which can be radically polymerized to polymers with thermoresponsive behavior in aqueous solution, consists of linked essentially planar acrylamide and amide segments [maximum deviations = 0.054 (1) and 0.009 (1) Å] with an angle of 81.36 (7)° between their mean planes. In the crystal, N-HO hydrogen bonding leads to an infinite two-dimensional network along (100).
