4-Nitrophenyl methacrylate

Y.-H. Xu and F. Qu

Abstract: The title compound, C₁₀H₉NO₄, was obtained serendipitously during the preparation of benzyl cyclohexylcarbamate. The molecule consists of two approximately planar parts, the nitrophenyl ring and the rest of the non-H atoms, with a dihedral angle of 55.05 (6)° between the two segments. The crystal structure is stabilized by weak C-HO interactions and stacking [3.753 (1) Å] along the b axis.
