N-(4-Methoxy-2-nitrophenyl)acetamide

Abstract

In the title compound, C9H10N2O4, the three substituents vary in the degree of lack of planarity with the central phenyl ring. The methoxy group is nearest to being coplanar, with a C—C—O—C torsion angle of 6.1 (5)°. The nitro group is less coplanar, with a 12.8 (5)° twist about the C—N bond and the acetamido group is considerably less coplanar with the central ring, having a 25.4 (5)° twist about the C—N bond to the ring. The NH group forms an intramolecular N—H...O hydrogen bond to a nitro-group O atom.
