N-Isobutylphthalimic acid hydrolyzes to the title salt, 2C4H12N+·C8H4O4−·H2O, which adopts a hydrogen-bonded layer structure. In the anion, the carboxylate groups are twisted with respect to the benzene ring [dihedral angles = 43.8 (1) and 50.9 (1)°].

N-Isobutylphthalimidic acid was synthesized as described earlier (Ariffin & Khan, 2005; Khan & Ariffin, 2003). The crystalline compound was left aside for several years. The hydrolyzed title salt was obtained as a wet crystalline compound.
Carbon-bound H-atoms were placed in calculated positions (C—H 0.95 to 0.99 Å) and were included in the
in the riding model approximation, with U(H) set to 1.2–1.5U(C). The oxygen- and nitrogen-bound H-atoms were located in a difference Fourier map, and were refined with restraints of O–H = N–H = 0.85±0.01 Å; H···H = 1.39±0.01 Å; their temperature factors were freely refined.Data collection: APEX2 (Bruker, 2007); cell

The title salt (Fig. 1) was obtained as a wet crystalline compound when N-isobutylphthalimic acid was left aside for several years. The acid has been shown by kinetic studies to be converted to phthalic acid and isobutylamine under neutral and acidic conditions (Ariffin & Khan, 2005; Khan Ariffin, 2003). In the anion, the carboxyl –CO2 groups are twisted with respect to the phenylene ring [dihedral angles 43.8 (1) and 50.9 (1) °]. Hydrogen bonds which involve the ammonium cations and water molecules link the components of the salt into a layer motif (Table 1).
