Methyl 4-isonicotinamidobenzoate monohydrate

Abstract

The title compound, C14H12N2O3·H2O, synthesized by the reaction of methyl 4-aminobenzoate with isonicotinoyl chloride hydrochloride, is relatively planar, with the pyridine ring being inclined by 7.46 (7)° to the benzene ring. In the crystal, the methyl 4-isonicotinamidobenzoate molecules are interlinked by water molecules via N—H...O, O—H...N and O—H...O hydrogen bonds, leading to the formation of a double-chain ribbon-like structure.
