title: N-(2,4,6-Trimethyl-phen-yl)succinamic acid.
abstract: The amide bond in the title compound {systematic name: 3-[(2,4,6-trimethyl-phen-yl)amino-carbon-yl]propionic acid}, C(13)H(17)NO(3), has a trans conformation. In the crystal, two mol-ecules form a centrosymmetric dimer connected by pairs of O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds. Inter-molecular N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds link the dimers into a three dimensional network.
