The 11H9NO4, consists of infinite one-dimensional polymeric chains due to intermolecular O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds between the carboxylate and carbonyl groups. The phthalimide ring system and the C—COO group are planar, with r.m.s. deviations of 0.0253 and 0.0067 Å, respectively, from their mean square planes and the dihedral angle between them is 66.41 (7)°. The molecules are stabilized by C=O⋯π interactions and weak intramolecular C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds.

The (S)-alanine (1.96 g, 22 mmol) and phthallic anhydride (3.6 g, 24.3 mmol) were added to a flask with constant stirring. The temperature of oil bath was kept at 433 K. Three hours later the flask was removed from oil bath, brought to room temperature and the crystals of phthallic anhydride on the walls of the flask were removed manually. The solid crude product was purified by crystallization from ethanol:water (8:2) that yielded (70%) colorless prisms of the title compound (I).
In the absence of significant
effects, Friedel pairs were averaged using MERG 3.The coordinates of H3A and H9 were refined. The H-atoms were positioned geometrically with C—H = 0.93 and 0.96 Å for aromatic and methyl H atoms respectively and constrained to ride on their parent atoms, with Uiso(H) = xUeq(C, O), where x = 1.5 for methyl and 1.2 for all other H atoms.
Isocoumarin are important components among natural products that exhibit a broad range of biological activities including anti-microbial, anti-allergic and immunomodulatory (Matsuda et al., 1999).
are also useful intermediates in synthesis of many important compounds e.g., isoquinoline The titled compound (I, Fig. 1), is an intermediate towards the synthesis of The title compound has also been prepared for complexation with various metals.We have recently reported the
of (II) (2R)-2-(1,3-Dioxoisoindolin-2-yl)-4-(methylsulfanyl)butanoic acid (Raza et al., 2009) which contain the same isoindoline. The crystal structures of (III) DL-2-(1,3-Dioxoisoindolin-2-yl)propanoic acid (Wheeler et al., 2004), (IV) (S)-2-(1,3-Dioxoisoindolin-2-yl)propanoic acid (Li & Liang, 2006) have also been reported which are the racemate of (I).In (I) the phthalimide ring system A (C1—C8/N1/O1/O2) and the group B (C9/C10/O3/O4) are planar with r.m.s. deviations of 0.0253 and 0.0067 Å respectively, from their mean square planes. The dihedral angle between A/B is 66.41 (7)°, whereas it is 86.7 (3)° as observed in (IV). The title compound is stabilized in the form of infinite one dimensional polymeric chains due to intermolecular H-bondings (Table 1, Fig. 2). There exist a weak intramolecular H-bondings forming S(5) ring motifs (Fig. 1) (Bernstein et al., 1995). The C==O···Cg1 [Cg1 is the centroid of five membered ring (C1/C2/C7/C8/N1)] interaction (Table 1), may also be responsible for stabilizing of the molecules.

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. |

Isocoumarin are important components among natural products that exhibit a broad range of biological activities including anti-microbial, anti-allergic and immunomodulatory (Matsuda et al., 1999). Isocoumarins are also useful intermediates in synthesis of many important compounds e.g., isoquinoline alkaloids. The titled compound (I, Fig. 1), is an intermediate towards the synthesis of isocoumarins. The title compound has also been prepared for complexation with various metals.
We have recently reported the crystal structure of (II) (2R)-2-(1,3-Dioxoisoindolin-2-yl)-4-(methylsulfanyl)butanoic acid (Raza et al., 2009) which contain the same isoindoline. The crystal structures of (III) DL-2-(1,3-Dioxoisoindolin-2-yl)propanoic acid (Wheeler et al., 2004), (IV) (S)-2-(1,3-Dioxoisoindolin-2-yl)propanoic acid (Li & Liang, 2006) have also been reported which are the racemate of (I).
In (I) the phthalimide ring system A (C1—C8/N1/O1/O2) and the group B (C9/C10/O3/O4) are planar with r.m.s. deviations of 0.0253 and 0.0067 Å respectively, from their mean square planes. The dihedral angle between A/B is 66.41 (7)°, whereas it is 86.7 (3)° as observed in (IV). The title compound is stabilized in the form of infinite one dimensional polymeric chains due to intermolecular H-bondings (Table 1, Fig. 2). There exist a weak intramolecular H-bondings forming S(5) ring motifs (Fig. 1) (Bernstein et al., 1995). The C==O···Cg1 [Cg1 is the centroid of five membered ring (C1/C2/C7/C8/N1)] interaction (Table 1), may also be responsible for stabilizing of the molecules.
