A new synthesis and crystal structure of n-(2-hydroxyethyl)succinimide

Abstract N-(2-Hydroxyethyl) succinimide was formed with 80 % yield in the reaction of 2-oxazolidinone with succinic anhydride at 210° C instead of polyesteramides obtained from N-substituted 2-oxazolidinones. The identification based on the crystal structure determination.
