Crystal structure of 4-(3-carboxypropanamido)-2-hydroxybenzoic acid monohydrate

Abstract

In the title hydrate, C11H11NO6·H2O, the organic molecule is approximately planar (r.m.s. deviation for the non-H atoms = 0.129 Å) and an intramolecular O—H...O hydrogen bond closes anS(6) ring. In the crystal, the benzoic acid group participates in an O—H...O hydrogen bond to the water molecule and accepts a similar bond from another water molecule. The other –CO2H group forms a carboxylic acid inversion dimer, thereby forming anR22(8) loop. These bonds, along with N—H...O and C—H...O interactions, generate a three-dimensional network.
