The asymmetric unit of the title compound, C9H8N2O2, contains two mol­ecules. In the crystal structure, both mol­ecules form inversion dimers via pairs of O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds, and a C—H⋯O inter­ation is also seen.

Supporting information


Comment top

Methyl indazole carboxylic acid is an important pharmaceutical intermediate: many of its derivatives have biological activity and be used as a variety of drugs. We report here the crystal structure of the title compound, (I). There are O—H···O intermolecular H bonds in the structure between the hydrogencarboxylates forming the paired molecules that are situated on the crystallographic inversion centres (Table 1). The molecular structure of (I) is shown in Fig. 1.

Experimental top

We prepared the title compound according to the literature method (Rousseau & Lindwall, 1950). Colourless blocks of (I) were obtained by slow evaporation of an petroleum/metanhol solution.

Refinement top

The H atoms were placed geometrically (C—H = 0.93-0.97Å, O—H = 0.82Å) and refined as riding with Uiso(H) = 1.2 or 1.5Ueq(carrier).

Special details top

Geometry. All e.s.d.'s (except the e.s.d. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of e.s.d.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between e.s.d.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell e.s.d.'s is used for estimating e.s.d.'s involving l.s. planes.

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.
