R. J. Jackson, M. Parvez, S. S. Nizami and R. Y. Khan

Abstract: The structure of N-phenyl-2-nitrobenzamide, C₁₃H₁₀N₂O₃, likely to be an intermediate in the biosynthesis of acridone alkaloids, is composed of strongly hydrogen-bonded molecules via amido H and carbonyl O atoms [HO 1.99, NO 2.8364  (13)  Å and N-HO 167°], thus forming chains along the b axis. The molecular dimensions are normal and the phenyl rings are inclined at right angles [89.41  (5)°] to each other.
