Pyrrolidine-2,5-diones derivates are an important class of heterocylic compounds with essential applications in the organic synthesis and medicinal chemistry. In the organic field, pyrrolidine-2,5-diones derivates, such as well known 1-bromopyrrolidine-2,5-dione (NBS), are the most commonly used halogenation reagents. Meanwhile, pyrrolidine-2,5-diones derivates exhibit numerous bioactivity, especially in anticonvulsant (Obniska et al., 2012; Kaminski et al., 2011) and tyrosinase inhibitory activity (Ha et al., 2011). Therefore, development of new and efficient strategies for the synthesis of multi-substituted pyrrolidine-2,5-diones is also the current hot in organic and medical chemistry (Ilieva et al., 2012; Adib et al.. 2010). Several crystal structures of title compound derivates have been reported (Khorasani and Fernandes 2012; Mayes et al., 2008), but crystal data of pyrrolidine-2,5-dione has not been investigated. Herein, we report the synthesis and completely crystal data of title compound.

The molecular structure of pyrrolidine-2,5-dione is shown in Fig. 1. The bond lengths and angles are within normal ranges. In the crystal, the molecules are connected through intermolecular N–H···O hydrogen bond (Table 1).

Experimental top

The single crystals of pyrrolidine-2,5-dione, C4H5NO2, were recrystallized from acetone at room temperature to give the desired crystals suitable for single-crystal X-ray diffraction, mounted inert oil and transferred to the cold gas stream of the diffractometer

Refinement top

C and N bound-H (atoms were included in idealized positions and refined using a riding-model approximation, with C—H bond lengths fixed at 1.00 Å, 0.99 Å, for methine and methylene H atoms respectively. Uiso(H) values were fixed at 1.2Ueq of the parent atoms for all H atoms.

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.
