4-(4-Hy-droxy-methyl-1H-1,2,3-triazol-1-yl)benzoic acid

Abstract

In the title compound, C 10H 9N 3O 3, there is a small twist between the benzene and triazole rings [dihedral angle = 6.32 (7)°]; the carb-oxy-lic acid residue is almost coplanar with the benzene ring to which it is attached [O - C - C - C torsion angle = 1.49 (19)°]. The main deviation from coplanarity of the non-H atoms is found for the hy-droxy group which is almost perpendicular to the remaining atoms [N - C - C - O torsion angle = -75.46 (16)°]. In the crystal, the presence of O - H⋯O (between carboxyl groups) and O - H⋯N (between the hy-droxy group and the triazole ring) hydrogen bonds leads to supra-molecular chains along [03[. The chains are connected into sheets via C - H⋯O(hy-droxy) inter-actions. © Ishak et al. 2011.
