title: Ethyl 6-amino-2-methoxypyridine-3-carboxylate, interplay of molecular and supramolecular structure.
abstract: The title compound, C(9)H(12)N(2)O(3), crystallizes with two molecules in the asymmetric unit. There is extensive hydrogen bonding which results in the formation of a two-dimensional corrugated sheet. This supramolecular structure is determined by the formation of hydrogen-bonded chains resulting from the presence of a 6-amino group and an ethoxycarbonyl group as substituents on a pyridine ring in relative para positions which constitute a pi-electron 'push-pull' system.
