The 11H12O2, consists of dimers which are formed due to intermolecular O—H⋯O hydrogen bonding. The dimers are linked to each other by C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds, where C—H belongs to the benzene ring and the O atom is of a carbonyl group of an adjoining molecule. There exist two intermolecular C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds which form five-membered rings. There exist two π–π interactions between the benzene rings. The perpendicular distance in these interactions are 3.006 and 3.396 Å. There also exist C—H⋯π and C—O⋯π interactions.

Compound (I) was prepared according to our previously reported method (Muhammad et al., 2007). A mixture of 3-methylbenzaldehyde (10 mmol, 1.18 ml), methylmalonic acid (2.36 g, 20 mmol) and piperidine (20 mmol, 1.98 ml) in pyridine (12.5 ml) solution was heated on a steam-bath for 24 h. The reaction mixture was cooled and added to a mixture of 25 ml of concentrated HCl and 50 g of ice. The precipitate formed in the acidified mixture was filtered off and washed with ice-cold water. The product was recrystallized from ethanol [yield; 90%, m.p. 321 K].
All H-atoms were positioned geometrically, with C—H = 0.93 and 0.96 Å for aromatic and methyl H-atoms, respectively, and O—H = 0.82 Å for hydroxyl O-atom, and constrained to ride on their parent atoms. The thermal parameters of methyl and hydroxyl H-atoms was taken 1.5 times while for all other H-atoms it was taken 1.2 times of the parent atoms.

Geometry. Bond distances, angles etc. have been calculated using the rounded fractional coordinates. All su's are estimated from the variances of the (full) variance-covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account in the estimation of distances, angles and torsion angles |
Refinement. Refinement of F2 against ALL reflections. The weighted R-factor wR and goodness of fit S are based on F2, conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F2. The threshold expression of F2 > σ(F2) is used only for calculating R-factors(gt) etc. and is not relevant to the choice of reflections for refinement. R-factors based on F2 are statistically about twice as large as those based on F, and R- factors based on ALL data will be even larger. |

Cinnamic acids and their derivatives have been studied for their pharmacological properties, including hepatoprotactive (Parez-Alvarez et al., 2001), antimalarial (Wiesner et al., 2001), antioxident (Natella et al., 1999) and antihyperglycemic activities (Liu et al., 1999). In continuation of our efforts to synthesize various derivatives of cinamic acids (Niaz et al., 2008) and their complexes, we herein report the structure of the title compound (I).
The crystal structure of 3-(4-bromophenyl)-2-methylacrylic acid (Muhammad et al., 2007) has been reported. The title compound (I) have a similar environment about the carboxylate group but the attachement of methyl instead of Br-atom is at meta-position instead of para-position.
In the crystal structure of the title compound, the C—C bonds are in the range 1.462 (3)–1.500 (3) Å, and C═C have a value of 1.339 (3) Å. The resonant C—O bonds have values of 1.250 (3) and 1.271 (3) Å. In the asymmetric unit, there are two interamolecular H-bonds of C—H···O type (Table 2, Fig 1). Due to these H-bonds, two five membered rings (O1/C1/C2/C3/H3···O1) and (O2/C1/C2/C10/H10A···O2) are formed. The intermolecular (O1—H1···O2i [symmetry code: i = -x, -y, -z + 1]) hydrogen bond forces the molecules into centrosymmetric dimers, forming a R22(8) motif (Bernstein et al. 1995). These dimers are linked to each other by the second intermolecular H-bonding, C8—H8···O2ii [symmetry code: ii = -x + 1, y + 1/2, -z + 1/2] as shown in Fig 2. There exist π–π interactions between the centroids (Cg) of benzene (C4—C9) rings of adjacent molecules. The Cg···Cgiii [symmetry code: iii = x, -y + 1/2, z - 1/2] and Cg···Cgiv [symmetry code: iv = x, -y + 1/2, z + 1/2] have a perpendicular distance of 3.006 and 3.396 Å, respectively. There exist also C10—H10C···Cgiv interaction, with a distance of 3.610 (3) Å between C10 and Cgiv. Similarly another π-interaction is present between C1–O2 and Cgv [symmetry code: v = x - 1, y, z] with a distance of 3.895 (3) Å between C1 and Cgv. The detail of these interactions is also included in Table 1.
