Comment

The derivatives of pyrrolidine-2,5-dione possess valuable pharmaceutical properties (Obniska et al., 2009). In this paper, synthesis and the crystal structure of the title compound, (I), Fig 1, is reported.

Experimental

The title compound was prepared according to the procedure of Duan et al. (2005). The title compound (40 mg) was dissolved in a mixture of chloroform (5 ml) and ethanol (3 ml) and the solution was kept at room temperature for 15 days. Evaporation of the solution gave colourless blocks of (I).

Refinement

All H atoms were included in the idealized positions (C—H = 0.93–0.99Å) and refined as riding with and refined in a riding with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C).

Special details

Geometry. All esds (except the esd in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell esds are taken into account individually in the estimation of esds in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between esds in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell esds is used for estimating esds involving l.s. planes.
Refinement. Refinement of F2 against ALL reflections. The weighted R-factor wR and goodness of fit S are based on F2, conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F2. The threshold expression of F2 > 2sigma(F2) is used only for calculating R-factors(gt) etc. and is not relevant to the choice of reflections for refinement. R-factors based on F2 are statistically about twice as large as those based on F, and R- factors based on ALL data will be even larger.
