3-Hydroxy-3-[(2-methylpropanoyl)methyl]indolin-2-one

The title compound, C13H15NO3, was synthesized by the Aldol reaction of isatin and 3-methylbutan-2-one refluxing in methanol catalyzed by dimethylamine. The packing of the molecules in the crystal structure features intermolecular N—H...O and O—H...O hydrogen bonds.
