Molecular structure of 3-mesityl-1,4-benzoquinonemonoxime

Abstract

The X-ray crystal structure of 3-mesityl-1,4-benzoquinonemonoxime is described. The structure reveals that hydrogen-bonds are formed between the oxime and keto groups to form one-dimensional hydrogen bonded ribbons. The structure (C15H15NO2) is orthorhombic with a = 8.9098(7), b = 10.6399(8), c = 13.7086(10) Å and space group P212121.
