Crystal structure of N-(3-oxobutanoyl)-l-homoserine lactone

The structure and absolute configuration of the title compound, C8H11NO4, which is a known quorum-sensing modulator, have been determined. The molecule exhibits signs of an intramolecular attractive carbonyl–carbonyl n→π* interaction between the amide and lactone ester groups, specifically – a short...
