Key indicators: single-crystal X-ray study; T = 120 K; mean (C-C) = 0.001 Å; R factor = 0.044; wR factor = 0.127; data-to-parameter ratio = 32.9.The asymmetric unit of the title compound, C 17 H 15 NO 4 , contains two independent molecules with similar geometric parameters. In both molecules, the conformation of the cyclohexene ring is half-chair, while the pyrrolidinone ring adopts an envelope conformation with the -carbon atom of the -pyrrolidinone ring as the flap. In the crystal, O-HÁ Á ÁO hydrogen bonds between the carboxylic and carbonyl groups link alternate independent molecules into chains propagating in the b-axis direction. The crystal packing also features weak C-HÁ Á Á interactions.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
