The title compound, C8H13NO2Se, crystallizes as a non-merohedral twin with an approximate 9:1 component ratio with two symmetry-independent mol-ecules in the asymmetric unit. Our density-functional theory (DFT) computations indicate that the carb-oxy C atom is expected to be slightly pyramidal due to an n→ π* inter-action, wherein the lone pair (n) of the Se atom overlap with the anti-bonding orbital (π*) of the carbonyl group. Such pyramidalization is observed in one mol-ecule of the title comp ...[more]
