4-[(2-Fluorophenyl)amino]-4-oxobutanoic acid

Abstract

The crystal structure of the title compound, C10H10FNO3, contains dimers of the asymmetric unit, with R22(8) rings arising from intermolecular O—H...O hydrogen bonding through the carboxylate groups. Adjacent dimeric units are connected to each other through one N—H...O and two C—H...O intermolecular hydrogen bonds. C—H...O hydrogen bonds involving the aromatic ring and the O atoms of two carboxylate groups form an R33(7) ring. The crystal structure is further stabilized by C—H...F interactions, giving rise to a three-dimensional network.
