3-(3,5-Dichloroanilinocarbonyl)propionic acid
Abstract
The crystal structure of the title compound, C10H9Cl2NO3, consists of dimers due to intermolecular O—H...O hydrogen bonding forming an R22(8) ring through the carboxyl groups. These dimers are linked to each other by intermolecular hydrogen bonds between the amine group and the adjacent carbonyl O atom. A single C—Cl...π interaction is also observed between the chloro-substituted aromatic rings.
