In the title compound, C17H17NO4, the dihedral angle between the two aromatic rings is 59.64 (5)°. The (methoxyimino)ethanoic acid fragment is nearly perpendicular to the attached benzene ring [dihedral angle = 81.07 (4)°]. In the crystal, pairs of O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds between carboxy groups link molecules into inversion dimers. In addition, π–π stacking interactions between inversion-related benzene rings are observed [centroid–centroid distance = 3.702 (1) Å].

Kresoxim-methyl (0.313 g, 0.001 mol) was dissolved in 5 ml acetone and to it 5 ml of 1 N NaOH solution was added. The reaction mixture was refluxed on a water bath at 343 K for 12 hrs, and then cooled. The compound was precipitated by neutralizing with 1 N HCl solution. The precipitated compound was dissolved in methanol and crystallized by the process of slow evaporation (m.p. 413 K).
All H atoms were positioned geometrically and were treated as riding on their parent C / O atoms, with O—H distance of 0.82 Å and C—H distances of 0.93–0.97 Å and with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C) or 1.5Ueq(methyl C / O).
The title compound is the acid metabolite of kresoxim-methyl, which is a systemic fungicide of strobilurin group with broad spectrum bio-efficacy against various diseases (Balba, 2007; Cash & Cronan, 2001; Ammermann et al., 2000) of economically important agricultural crops.
In (I), all bond lengths and angles are normal and correspond to those observed in the related structure (Chopra et al., 2004). The dihedral angle between the the two aromatic rings is 59.64 (5)°. The (methoxyimino)ethanoic acid fragment is nearly perpendicular to the attached benzene ring [dihedral angle 81.07 (4)°]. In the crystal, O—H···O hydrogen bonds link pairs of molecules to form inversion dimers (Fig. 2). The π–π interactions between the benzene ring (C11—C16) of the molecule at (x, y, z) and the benzene ring of an inversion related molecule at (1 - x, 1 - y, 1 - z)[centroid separation = 3.702 (1) Å, = 3.547Å and centroid shift = 1.05 Å].

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 title compound is the acid metabolite of kresoxim-methyl, which is a systemic fungicide of strobilurin group with broad spectrum bio-efficacy against various diseases (Balba, 2007; Cash & Cronan, 2001; Ammermann et al., 2000) of economically important agricultural crops.
In (I), all bond lengths and angles are normal and correspond to those observed in the related structure (Chopra et al., 2004). The dihedral angle between the the two aromatic rings is 59.64 (5)°. The (methoxyimino)ethanoic acid fragment is nearly perpendicular to the attached benzene ring [dihedral angle 81.07 (4)°]. In the crystal, O—H···O hydrogen bonds link pairs of molecules to form inversion dimers (Fig. 2). The crystal structure is further stabilized by π–π interactions between the benzene ring (C11—C16) of the molecule at (x, y, z) and the benzene ring of an inversion related molecule at (1 - x, 1 - y, 1 - z)[centroid separation = 3.702 (1) Å, interplanar spacing = 3.547Å and centroid shift = 1.05 Å].
