Abstract: | The crystal structure of the title compound, C10H10N2O2·H2O, also known as l ‐5‐benzylhydantoin monohydrate, is described in terms of two‐dimensional supramolecular arrays built up from infinite chains assembled via N—H...O and O—H...O hydrogen bonds among the organic molecules and solvent water molecules, with graph‐set R33(10)C(5)C22(6). The hydrogen‐bond network is reinforced by stacking of the layers through C—H...π interactions. |
