O-Acetyl-N-(o-hydroxybenzyl)-N-isopropylhydroxylamine

Although the solution chemistry of hydroxylamine derivatives is well documented, literature on the conformational aspects in the solid state is rather scarce. The structure of the title compound, C₁₂H₁₇NO₃, revealed an N4-O1-C15-O2 torsion angle of -6.0 (7)° indicating a cis and planar disposition of N-O and C-O bonds. This is the most stable and only observable conformer, as opposed to the trans and planar arrangement.
