The amide bond in the title compound {systematic name: 3-[(2,4,6-trimethylphenyl)aminocarbonyl]propionic acid}, C13H17NO3, has a trans conformation. In the crystal, two molecules form a centrosymmetric dimer connected by pairs of O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds. Intermolecular N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds link the dimers into a three dimensional network.

The solution of succinic anhydride (0.025 mole) in toluene (25 cc) was treated dropwise with the solution of 2,4,6-trimethylaniline(0.025 mole) also in toluene (20 cc) with constant stirring. The resulting mixture was stirred for about one h and set aside for an additional hour at room temperature for the completion of reaction. The mixture was then treated with dilute hydrochloric acid to remove the unreacted 2,4,6-trimethylaniline. The resultant solid N-(2,4,6-trimethylphenyl)-succinamic acid was filtered under suction and washed thoroughly with water to remove the unreacted succinic anhydride and succinic acid. It was recrystallized to constant melting point from ethanol. The purity of the compound was checked by elemental analysis and characterized by its infrared spectra. The plate like colourless single crystals of the compound used in X-ray diffraction studies were grown in ethanolic solution by slow evaporation at room temperature.
H atoms bonded to C were positioned with idealized geometry using a riding model [C—H = 0.93 Å to 0.97Å] with U(H) set to 1.2Ueq(C). The other H atoms were located in a difference map and their position refined with U(H) set to 1.2Ueq(N,O).

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. |

The amide moiety is an important constituent of many biologically significant compounds. As a part of studying the effect of ring and side chain substitutions on the structures of this class of compounds (Gowda et al., 2009a,b,c), the crystal structure of N-(2,4,6-trimethylphenyl)-succinamic acid (I) {systematic name: 3-[(2,4,6-trimethylphenyl)-aminocarbonyl]propionic acid} has been determined. The conformations of N—H and C=O bonds in the amide segment of the structure are trans to each other (Fig.1). But the conformations of the amide O atom and the carbonyl O atom of the acid segment are cis to each other Further, the conformations of the C(O)—C bonds in the N—CO—CH2—CH2—C(O)—OH segment have "trans" and "gauche" torsions with the adjacent C—H bonds.
The C=O and O—H bonds of the acid group are in syn position to each other, similar to that observed in the crystal structures of N-(2,6-dimethylphenyl)- succinamic acid (Gowda et al., 2009b) and N-(2-chlorophenyl)succinamic acid (Gowda et al., 2009a) but in contrast to the anti positions observed in the structure of N-(3,5-dichlorophenyl)succinamic acid(Gowda et al., 2009c)
The torsional angles of the groups, C1 - N1 - C7 - C8, N1 - C7 - C8 - C9, C7 - C8 - C9 - C10 and C8 - C9 - C10 - O2 in the side chain are 180.0 (2)°, -160.5 (2)°, 63.5 (2)° and -174.9 (2)°, respectively. The N—H···O and O—H···O intermolecular hydrogen bonds pack the molecules in the structure into supramolecular chains (Table 1, Fig.2).
The modes of interlinking carboxylic acids by hydrogen bonds is described elsewhere (Leiserowitz, 1976). The packing of molecules involving dimeric hydrogen bonded association of each carboxyl group with a centrosymmetrically related neighbor has also been observed (Jagannathan et al., 1994).
