3-(7-Methoxy-β-carbolin-1-yl)propionic acid monohydrate

Abstract

In the title compound, C15H14N2O3·H2O [systematic name: 3-(7-methoxy-9H-pyrido[3,4-b]indol-1-yl)propanoic acid monohydrate], the fused rings make dhedral angles of 0.4 (1), 1.1 (2) and 1.4 (2)°. In the crystal, the water molecule is involved in the formation of three independent hydrogen-bonded chains via O—H...O and N—H...O hydrogen bonds, while the carboxy group forms an intermolecular O—H...N hydrogen bond.
