Methyl 2-amino-4,5-dimethoxybenzoate

Abstract

The title compound, C10H13NO4, is essentially planar, with an r.m.s. deviation of 0.049 Å. An intramolecular C—H...O hydrogen bond occurs and the amino group forms an intramolecular N—H...Oester hydrogen bond; the other H atom forms an intermolecular N—H...Ocarbonyl hydrogen bond, leading to the formation of a helical chain that runs along the b-axis direction.
