The –COOH group of the title compound adopts a syn conformation (O= C—O—H = 0°) unlike the anti conformation observed in related maleamic acids. This is correlated with the formation of carboxylic acid inversion dimers linked by pairwise O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds in the crystal of the title compound rather than an intramolecular O—H⋯O hydrogen bond.
