title: N-Phenyl-succinamic acid.
abstract: In the crystal structure of the title compound, C(10)H(11)NO(3), the conformations of N-H and C=O bonds in the amide segment are anti to each other. Further, the conformations of the amide O atom and the carbonyl O atom of the acid segment are anti to each other and to the adjacent -CH(2) groups. The C=O and O-H bonds of the acid group are in syn positions with respect to each other. In the crystal, the mol-ecules are packed into infinite chains along the a axis through inter-molecular N-H⋯O and O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds.
