<i>tert</i>-Butyl <i>N</i>-Hydroxycarbamate (<i>N</i>-Boc-Hydroxylamine)

Abstract

The X-ray structure of the title compound has been determined for the first time. This features ribbons formed by two parallel chains of molecules joined by C=O···H–N hydrogen bonding, which are then cross-linked by C=O···H–O hydrogen bonds. The structure is compared to those of closely related compounds.
