The title compounds C13H19NO5, C11H14N2O6 center dot H2O and C11H15NO2, respectively, have been derived from 3-ethoxysalicylaldehyde, 5-nitrosalicylaldehyde and salicylaldehyde, respectively. The C-O and N-C bond distances, and three hydrogen bonds formed by the phenolate O atom, show that the zwitterionic form exists in the first compound. The second compound is transformed to the quinoid form as a result of resonance between the zwitterionic form and the nitro group. The third compound exists in the phenol-imine form, with appropriate C-N and C-O bond distances.
