2,5-Dioxopyrrolidin-1-yl 3-(furan-2-yl)acrylate

Abstract

The title compound, C11H9NO5, was prepared by the reaction of 2-furan­acrylic acid and N-hy­droxy­succinimide. The mol­ecule consists of two approximately planar moieties, viz. a succinimide group and the rest of the mol­ecule [the largest deviations from the least-squares planes are 0.120 (1) and 0.210 (1) Å, respectively]. The dihedral angle between these fragments is 63.70 (5)°. In the crystal, mol­ecules are linked by C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds into two-dimensional nets.
