Abstract

The title compound, C7H13NO5, was prepared by the condensation of O-(carb­oxy­meth­yl)hydroxyl­amine and (Boc)2O (Boc = but­oxy­carbon­yl).In the crystal, mol­ecules are linked by weak inter­molecular N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds.

Comment

N–(tert–Butoxycarbonyl)–O– (carboxymethyl)hydroxylamine is an important building block having a broad spectrum of applications in the biochemical fields (Vandersse et al., 2003; Deroo et al., 2003). As a contribution in this filed, we report here the crystal structure of the title compound.

The molecular structure of title compound is shown in Fig. 1. The crystal packing (Fig. 2) is stabilized by weak intermolecular N—H···O hydrogen bonds between the amine H atom and the O atom of the hydroxy group (Table, N1—H1···O2i).

Experimental

(Boc)2O (21.8 g, 0.10 mol) was added to a stirred solution of O–(carboxymethyl)hydroxylamine (9.1 g, 0.10 mol) in dioxane. The mixture was stirred at 303 K for 2 h. Then mixture was concentrated and purified by crystallization from MeOH. Single crystals suitable for X–ray diffraction were prepared by slow evaporation of a solution of the title compound in MeOH at room temperature.

Refinement

All H atoms were placed geometrically and treated as riding on their parent atoms, with C—H = 0.93–0.96 Å, N—H = 0.86 Å and Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C) or 1.5Ueq(C) for methyl H atoms.

Special details

Geometry. All e.s.d.'s (except the e.s.d. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of e.s.d.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between e.s.d.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell e.s.d.'s is used for estimating e.s.d.'s 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 > σ(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.
