In the title compound, C9H12NO6P, intramolecular C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds form five- and six-membered rings. In the crystal, inversion dimers lined by pairs of C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds occur with ring motifs R22(10). The O atom of the hydroxy group behaves as an accepter and the benzene ring as donor. Adjacent dimers are connected through O—H⋯O links.

A solution of O-nitrobenzaldehide (3.01 g, 20 mmole) and dimethylphosphonate (2.20 g, 20 mmole) was prepared in THF (50 ml). To this solution, a powder mixture of an equal amount of KF and commercial Al2O3 (2.5 g + 2.5 g) was added slowly and stirred for 48 h at 273 K. The product was filtered and the filtrate was evaporated at room temperature. The crystalline material obtained after two days was washed with ether and recrystallized in a solution mixture of petroleum ether and THF(1:1), [m.p: 383 K].
All H-atoms appeared in Difference Fourier Map. The coordinations of the atom H7 bounded to the atom C7 and the atom H1 of the hydroxyl group were refined isotropically.
Thermal parameter of these H atoms was taken 1.2 and 1.5 times of the corresponding atoms, respectively.
The H atom (H7) bound to the atom C7 and the H atom (H1) of the hydroxyl group were located in a diffrerence map and their positions refined, with C—H = 0.93 (3) Å and 0.87 (3) Å. The other H atoms were positioned with idealized geometry and refined using a riding model, with C—H distances 0.93–0.96 Å. All H atoms were refined with isotropic displacement parameters (set to 1.2 times of the Ueq of the parent atom). For methyl and hydroxyl group Uiso(H) = 1.5 Ueq.

Experimental. the structure was solved by Patterson method using SHELX86 (Sheldrick, 2008); the whole molecule was recognized |
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 |

(R)-Dimethyl [(2-chlorophenyl)hydroxymethyl]phosphonate (Tahir et al., 2007) and Dimethyl (1-hydroxy-1,2-diphenylethyl)phosphonate (Acar et al., 2009) have been reported by us. In continuation to the study of phosphonate compounds, we herein report the preparation and crystal structure of the title compound (I), (Fig 1).
Diethyl [hydroxy(2-nitrophenyl)methyl]phosphonate (II) (Chen et al., 2008) have also been published which have similar coordination around the C-atom having α-hydroxy group. But it is observed that the change of diethylphosphonate (II) with dimethylphosphonate (I) results in the S-conformation at the methine. In (I), the P═O is 1.467 (2) Å, whereas P–O and P–C have values of [1.557 (2), 1.563 (2) Å] and 1.829 (2) Å, respectively. The nitro group is oriented at an angle of 27.96 (23)° with the benzene ring A(C1—C6). There exist two intramolecular H-bondings which form five B(O1/C7/C1/C6/H6···O1) and six C(O2/N1/C2/C1/C7/H7···O2) membered rings. The title compound is dimerized (Fig 2) forming ring motifs R22(10) (Bernstein et al., 1995) if only intermolecular H-bonding is concerned. This ten membered ring is splitted into three rings through intramolecular H-bonding resulting in the formation of central four membered ring [O···H···O···H···O]. A similar ring has already been observed in 3-[(methylcarbamoyl)amino]-1H-isoindolium chloride (Maliha et al., 2009). The O-atom of hydroxy group behaves as an accepter and the benzene ring as donar. The adjacent dimers are connected through intermolecular H-bonds of O–H···O type, where the accepter is doubly bonded O the phosphonate group.
