5-Hexylamino-1,2-benzoquinone 2-Oxime Monohydrate

In C₁₂H₁₈N₂O₂.H₂O, the oximic OH group is anti (trans) to the quinoid carbonyl group, thus there are no intramolecular hydrogen bonds in the molecule. Extensive intermolecular interactions between neighbouring quinone oxime molecules and associated water molecules are observed. Bond distances are intermediate between those predicted for the 1,2-quinoneoxime and 2,5-oxime imino forms.
