tert-Butyl 4-formyl-1H-imidazole-1-carboxylate

Abstract

In the crystal structure of the title compound, C9H12N2O3, weak intermolecular C—H...O hydrogen bonds link the molecules into chains. Further weak C—H...O hydrogen bonds together with π–π interactions [centroid–centroid distance = 3.672 (4) Å] between neighbouring chains lead to a double-chain structure propagating in [100].
