Ethyl 4-nitrophenylacetate was obtained from the Jiachen Chemical Company Inc, ShangHai. The crystals were grown by vapour diffusion of 95% ethanol.
After their location in a difference map, all H atoms were fixed geometrically at ideal positions (C–H = 0.93–0.96 Å) and allowed to ride on the parent C atoms, with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C) or 1.5Ueq(methyl C). In the absence of significant
effects, Friedel pairs have been merged.Data collection: SMART (Bruker, 2001); cell

Geometry. All e.s.d.'s (except the e.s.d. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of e.s.d.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between e.s.d.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell e.s.d.'s is used for estimating e.s.d.'s involving l.s. planes. |
Refinement. Refinement of F2 against ALL reflections. The weighted R-factor wR and goodness of fit S are based on F2, conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F2. The threshold expression of F2 > σ(F2) is used only for calculating R-factors(gt) etc. and is not relevant to the choice of reflections for refinement. R-factors based on F2 are statistically about twice as large as those based on F, and R- factors based on ALL data will be even larger. |

Ethyl 4-nitrophenylacetate, (I), has been widely used as an intermediator of the anti-rheumatoid drugs (Kevan et al., 1991; Sagamihara, 1988). The similar compound, cyclodecyl 4-nitrophenylacetate, has been reported by Brown et al. (2006). Here we present the molecular structure of (I), as shown in Fig. 1. In the asymmetric unit of (I), there is a dimer via a C—H···O interaction (Table 1). The angles involving the acetate groups in the dimer are 126.7 (4), 124.0 (4), 126.1 (4) and 123.1 (4)°, and the average distances of C=O and C—O are 1.202 (5) and 2.792 (5) Å, respectively. The C—N bond lengths on the benzene ring range from 1.202 (5) to 1.219 (4) Å. The benzene ring planes of the two independent molecules are nearly directional parallel with the dihedral angle of 19.2 (2)°, but no significant π-π interaction. The molecular packing diagram of (I) is stabilized by N1—O2···π contact [O2···Cgi 3.297 (5) Å, N1—O2···Cgi 156.3 (3)°; Cg is the centroid of the benzene C11—C16 ring; symmetry code: (i) 1/2 + x, 1 - y, z] together with hydrogen bond, as shown in Fig. 2.
