N-Hexyl-3,4-dihydroxybenzamide

Abstract

In the title compound, C13H19NO3, the hexyl chain has en extended conformation and its mean plane is inclined to the benzene ring by 3.29 (10)°. There is a short O—H...O contact in the molecule involving the adjacent hydroxy groups. In the crystal, molecules are linked via O—H...O and N—H...O hydrogen bonds, forming slabs parallel to (001). Within the slabs, there are also C—H...O hydrogen bonds and C—H...π interactions present.
