4-(Methyl-amino)benzoic acid.

ABSTRACT: The asymmetric unit of the title compound, C(8)H(9)NO(2), contains three crystallographically independent mol-ecules, which are essentially planar, the carboxyl O atoms deviating by 0.091?(3), 0.101?(2) and 0.164?(3)?Å from the mean plane through the non-H atoms. In the crystal, all three mol-ecules form O-H?O hydrogen-bonded about inversion centers, forming eight-membered rings with graph-set notation R(2) (2)(8). In addition, N-H?O hydrogen bonding and C-H?? inter-actions reinforce the packing.
