(Received 22 November 2007; accepted 29 November 2007; online 12 December 2007)

Two mol­ecules of the title compound, C15H15NO3, are linked by a pair of O—H⋯Ocarbon­yl hydrogen bonds over a centre of inversion to form a hydrogen-bonded dimer. With respect to the –C(=O)—N(OH)– unit, the methoxy-substituted ring is twisted by 42.2 (1)°, whereas the methyl-substituted ring is twisted by 52.2 (1)°.

Supporting information


Related literature top

The parent N-phenylbenzohydroxamic acid exists in the cis form as well as the common trans form (see Yamasaki et al., 2006). For the synthesis and spectroscopic data of the title compound, see: Agrawal & Tandon (1971, 1972, 1973).

Experimental top

3-Methoxybenzoyl chloride (1.4 g, 0.01 mmol) dissolved in ether was added to N-(4-tolyl)hydroxylamine (1.0 g, 0.01 mmol) dissolved in ether in the presence of sodium bicarbonate (0.7 g, 0.01 mmol). The reaction was carried out in an ice-bath. The solid that formed on removal of the solvent was extracted with ethyl acetate (10 ml). The solution yielded crystals after being set aside in a refrigerator.

Refinement top

The carbon-bound H atoms were placed at calculated positions (C–H 0.93– 0.97 Å), and were included in the refinement in the riding model approximation with U(H) set to 1.2–1.5Ueq(C). The hydropxy hydrogen atom was located in a difference Fouier map, and was refined with a distance restraint of O–H 0.85±0.01 Å.
