2-[Hy-droxy(2-meth-oxy-phenyl)methyl]acrylonitrile.

ABSTRACT: In the title compound, C(11)H(11)NO(2), the mean planes formed by the benzene ring and the C and N atoms of the acryl group are almost orthogonal to each other, with a dihedral angle of 85.7 (1)°. During the structure analysis, it was observed that the unit cell contains large accessible voids, with a volume of 186.9 Å(3), which may host disordered solvent mol-ecules. This affects the diffraction pattern, mostly at low scattering angles. Density identified in these solvent-accessible areas was calculated and corrected for using the SQUEEZE routine in PLATON [Spek (2009 ▶), Acta Cryst. D65, 148-155]. Despite the presence of the hy-droxy group in the mol-ecule, no classical or nonclassical hydrogen bonds are observed in the structure. This may reflect the fact that the O-H group points towards the solvent-accessible void.
