2,5-Dioxopyrrolidin-1-yl 2-methyl-prop-2-enoate.

In the title compound, C8H9NO4, the pyrrolidine ring (r.m.s. deviation 0.014 Å) is almost normal to the mean plane of the propenoate group (r.m.s deviation 0.028 Å), making a dihedral angle of 86.58 (4)°. In the crystal, mol-ecules are linked via pairs of weak C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds, forming inversion dimers which stack along the c axis.

Geometry. All e.s.d.'s (except the e.s.d. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of e.s.d.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between e.s.d.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell e.s.d.'s is used for estimating e.s.d.'s involving l.s. planes.

Refinement. Refinement of F2 against ALL reflections. The weighted R-factor wR and goodness of fit S are based on F2, conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F2. The threshold expression of F2 > σ(F2) is used only for calculating R-factors(gt) etc. and is not relevant to the choice of reflections for refinement. R-factors based on F2 are statistically about twice as large as those based on F, and R- factors based on ALL data will be even larger.CheckCIF detected one Alert level C stating that a large K value of 2.279 was detected in the Analysis of Variance. Examination of the SHELX output does reveal one large K value (1.967) for the Fc/Fc(max of 0.000). Examination of the K values as a function of resolution shows no large K values from inf to 0.83 Å. Our conclusion is that the large K value results from very weak relections in the 0.80 - 0.60 A region and should have a neglibile effect upon the final structural results while the inclusion of the data would minimize termination effects in the calculation of electron density.
