The synthesis and of the title compound N-hydroxy-4-{2-[(2-hydroxyethyl)(phenyl)amino]-2-oxoethyl}benzamide monohydrate (HPOB·H2O) is reported. The water molecule is positionally disordered at 106 K. The complex crystallizes with monoclinic P21/n symmetry, and the core of the molecule is relatively planar with the two aryl substituents rotated out of the plane. This structure highlights how HPOB·H2O has a hydroxamate moiety that adopts a Z conformation.

1. Chemical context
The regulation of gene expression is significantly influenced by histone acetylation, a reversible modification governed by two opposing classes of enzymes: histone acetyltransferases (HATs) and histone deacetylases (HDACs). HATs facilitate gene transcription by adding acetyl groups to histone proteins, thereby loosening chromatin structure and enhancing DNA accessibility. Conversely, HDACs remove these acetyl groups, resulting in a more compact chromatin arrangement that restricts transcription. Abnormal patterns of histone acetylation, particularly due to altered HDAC activity, are commonly associated with the development and progression of cancer, making HDACs attractive targets for therapeutic intervention (Kim et al., 2020
; Chen et al., 2015
).
Among the eleven zinc-dependent HDAC isoforms found in humans, HDAC6 is particularly notable for its distinct structural features and its involvement in diverse cellular processes such as protein turnover, cytoskeletal dynamics, and response to cellular stress (Kwon et al., 2012
). Designing selective inhibitors for specific HDAC isoforms is critical for elucidating their individual biological roles and minimizing adverse effects linked to non-selective inhibition (Rastelli & Micelli, 2015
). To date, several HDAC6 inhibitors have been developed with selectivities ranging from tenfold inhibition to more than a thousandfold inhibition relative to HDAC1. The HDAC6 inhibitor N-Hydroxy-4-{2-[(2-hydroxyethyl)(phenyl)amino]-2-oxoethyl}benzamide (HPOB) has 52-fold selectivity for inhibition over HDAC1 (Lee et al., 2013
).
The co-crystal structure of HPOB complexed with HDAC6 (Danio rerio) enzyme was reported (Hai & Christianson, 2016
), however a standalone crystal structure of HPOB is not yet reported. The co-crystal structure of HPOB-HDAC6 complex has an unusual monodentate Zn2+ coordination from HPOB. It is also reported that the HDAC inhibitor tricostatin A complexes with the HDAC6 Zn2+ binding pocket in two conformers. A major conformer (70%) with a canonical bidentate hydroxamate- Zn2+ coordination geometry and a minor conformer (30%) with monodentate hydroxamate-Zn2+ coordination geometry (Porter, et al., 2017
). The 1H NMR spectra of a pyrimidine-based hydroxamic acid in DMSO-d6 have shown two sets of proton signals from NH and OH groups representing E and Z forms (Jakubkiene et al., 2022
). It is also reported elsewhere that the ratio of Z to E isomer decreases in the order of DMSO-d6, < CDCI3, < C6D6 (Brown et al., 1991
, 1996
; Sow et al., 2023a
,b
). This suggests that the Z isomer is preferentially stabilized in DMSO-d6 (potentially through water interactions), while the E isomer becomes more stable in non-polar hydrocarbon solvents.
In this work, we report the synthesis and of HPOB·H2O, a hydroxamic acid-based compound known for its selectivity toward HDAC6. Our findings disclose the single crystal X-ray structure of HPOB·H2O, which adopts a Z conformation. These structural insights provide valuable information about how HPOB may interact with metal ions at the active site of HDAC6 and other HDAC enzyme, contributing to a better understanding of its binding mode and offering guidance for the development of related inhibitors.
2. Structural commentary
HPOB·H2O crystallizes with one molecule of HPOB and one molecule of water within the as depicted in Fig. 1
. The core chain of the molecule has bond distances consistent with single bonds for C1—C2 at 1.520 (3) Å, C2—N1at 1.470 (3) Å, N1—C3 at 1.356 (3) Å, C3—C4 at 1.525 (3) Å, and C4—C5 at 1.509 (3) Å. The bonds to oxygen atoms have bond lengths consistent with terminal OH groups for O1—C1 at 1.434 (3) Å and N2—O4 at 1.397 (2) Å, and a bond distance consistent with a ketone for C9—O3 at 1.239 (3) Å. The core of the HPOB molecule is relatively planar between C2, N1, C3, C4, and C5 with the two aryl rings rotated out of the plane. The aryl rotation is reflected by the torsion angles C3—C4—C5—C6 of −113.8 (2)° and C3—N1—C12—C17 at −98.3 (2)°. The hydroxamate group adopts a Z conformation, similar to that observed in the structure of HPOB bound to the HDAC6 enzyme reported by Hai & Christianson (2016
). In this conformation, the hydroxamate hydroxyl group coordinates with the enzyme's Zn2+ cofactor through Zn2+-bound water molecule, which remains undisplaced.

3. Supramolecular features
Four molecules of HPOB and water are in the as depicted in Fig. 2
with primary stabilization from hydrogen bonding (Table 1
), and perpendicular π stacking. The perpendicular π stacking is apparent from measuring a distance from the centroid between C5–C6–C7–C8–C10–C11 and H13 of 2.465 Å. Hydrogen-bonding distances and angles are reported in Table 1
and are highlighted in Fig. 3
. The two hydroxide moieties in the molecule have hydrogen bonds to a neighboring molecule of HPOB with a O1—H1a⋯O3 hydrogen-bond distance of 2.1 (1) Å to a second hydroxide, and a O4—H4⋯O1 hydrogen-bond distance of 1.818 (7) Å to the carbonyl. The water molecule in the structure also is involved in hydrogen bonding to the amino group of HPOB with an N2—H2⋯O5 hydrogen-bond distance of 2.05 (4) Å, to the carbonyls of HPOB with a O5—Ha⋯O2 hydrogen-bond distance of 1.88 (3) Å and a O5A—Hb⋯O3 hydrogen-bond distance of 2.03 (5) Å, and with another water molecule with a O5—H⋯O5′ hydrogen-bond distance of 1.64 (3) Å.

4. Database survey
A survey of Cambridge Structural Database (WebCSD accessed July 29, 2025; Groom et al., 2016
) and Scifinder (SciFinder, 2025) yielded no exact matches for a standalone structure for HPOB. However, the crystal structure of the HPOB complexed with the HDAC6 enzyme has been reported (Hai & Christianson, 2016
), in which the hydroxamate group is in the Z conformation and the C=O group forms a hydrogen bond with a Zn2+-bound water molecule. Two of the precursors to HPOB are also reported in the Cambridge Structural Database including Compound 1 (Saeed et al., 2008
) and Compound 2 (Yathirajan et al., 2007
).
5. Synthesis and crystallization
General considerations. All reagents were purchased from commercial suppliers and used without further purification unless otherwise noted. 1H, and 13C NMR spectra were recorded on a Varian 400 MHz instrument operating at 399.7770024 MHz. Chemical shifts are reported in ppm relative to SiMe4. Spectra were processed using MestReNova and original files and NMR data can be accessed through Zenodo (Cervantes et al., 2025
). The synthesis is shown in Fig. 4

HPOB·H2O (N-Hydroxy-4-{2-[(2-hydroxyethyl)(phenyl)amino]-2-oxoethyl}benzamide) was synthesized from methyl-p-toluate (1) in seven steps with an overall yield of 4.8%. First, compound 1 was brominated with NBS to produce methyl 4-(bromomethyl)benzoate, compound 2 (Takahashi et al., 2008
). Then, compound 2 was reacted with KCN in methanol to yield the cyano compound 3 (Sakellariou et al., 2003

) Then diester 5 was selectively hydrolyzed at the aliphatic ester to form monoester compound 6 (Saraswati et al., 2020
). Then, compound 6 was subjected to amide coupling with TBDMS-protected phenyl amino ethanol (7) (Zhao et al., 2021
), in the presence of EDCI to produce amide 8. Lastly, amide 8 was reacted with 50% aqueous hydroxylamine solution in the presence of a catalytic amount of KCN, and then hydrolyzed with HCl to produce the target compound HPOB. HPOB·H2O was crystallized in 95% ethanol via slow evaporation over a period of two days.

6. Refinement
Crystal data, data collection and structure details are summarized in Table 2
. Most hydrogen atoms were fixed positionally in calculated positions using the AFIX command in SHELXL (Sheldrick 2015
). These were refined as riding with distances of 0.95 Å for C—H, and 0.99 Å for CH2, and Uiso values for riding H atoms 1.2 times Ueq(C) for both. OH atoms were also positionally fixed with Uiso values for riding H atoms 1.5 times Ueq(C). The distances for O1—H1a and O1—H1b were restrained with a σ value of 0.02, and these were part of the positionally disordered water molecule. The site occupancy factor was set with FVAR = 1 for H1a and H1b, and was set to a value of 0.5 for O5, O5A, Ha, Hb, H, and Hc.
