Abstract

The title compound, C16H19NO5, crystallizes as a centrosymmetric dimer through strong O-H...O hydrogen-bonding interactions between the hydroxyphenyl and morpholinocarbonyl groups. The morpholinocarbonyl group is almost perpendicular to the propenoate moiety. Electron delocalization in the N-C(=O) fragment leads to the formation of hydrogen-bonded S(5) ring motifs through C-H...O interactions.
