N-[(Z)-4-Methoxybenzylidene](methoxycarbonyl)methanamine oxide

Abstract

The title compound, C11H13NO4, contains a nitrone group, C=N-O-R, the geometry of which shows a Z configuration with near planarity (r.m.s. deviation = 0.0787 angstrom) around the C=N double bond. An intramolecular C-H center dot center dot center dot O hydrogen bond generates an S(6) ring motif. In the crystal packing, molecules are linked into R-2(2)(12) dimers and R-2(2)(14) rings via C-H center dot center dot center dot O intermolecular hydrogen bonds.
