The title compound, C13H13N2O3, a hydantoin derivative, crystallized with two
molecules (A and B)
in an asymmetric unit. In molecule A, the
imidazolidine ring is twisted about the C-N bond involving the spiro C atom,
while in molecule B this ring is flat (r.m.s.
deviation = 0.010 Å). The pyran rings in both molecules have distorted
half-chair conformations. The mean plane of the imidazolidine ring is inclined
to the aromatic ring of the chroman unit by 79.71 (11)° in molecule A and 82.83 (12)° in molecule B.
In the crystal, pairs of N-HO hydrogen bonds link the
individual molecules to form A-A
and B-B inversion
dimers. The dimers are linked via N-H
O and C-H
O hydrogen bonds, forming
sheets lying parallel to the bc plane, viz. (011). Within the sheets, the A
and B molecules are linked by C-H
interactions.
