Succinimido 2‐acetoxy­benzoate

The title compound, C13H11NO6, a modified aspirin, was characterized by 1H NMR, solid-state IR and X-ray crystallographic techniques. The X-ray structure determination reveals that the twist of the acetyl group with respect to the phenyl ring is 12° less than that in aspirin. Also, the carboxyl plane is twisted out of the plane of the phenyl ring, probably due to the succin­imide substitution. The crystal structure is stabilized by C—H⋯O and π–π interactions.
