Although the solution chemistry of hydroxylamine derivatives is well documented, literature on the conformational aspects in the solid state is rather scarce. The structure of the title compound, C12H17NO3, revealed an N4-O1-C15-O2 torsion angle of -6.0 (7)° indicating a cis and planar disposition of N-O and C-O bonds. This is the most stable and only observable conformer, as opposed to the trans and planar arrangement.
