The title compound, C10H11NO5, is of interest with respect to its antidyslipidemic activity. It was prepared by reaction of 4-nitrophenol with ethyl 2-bromo-2-methylpropionate followed by ethyl ester hydrolysis. In the crystal, molecules are linked into centrosymmetric dimers by intermolecular O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds and the dimers are connected into chains by weak C—H⋯O interactions. The packing is further stabilized by offset π–π interactions between adjacent benzene rings with a centroid–centroid distance of 3.8643 (17) Å.

A mixture of 4-nitrophenol (1.0 g, 4.44 mmol), potassium carbonate (1.22 g, 8.88 mmol) in acetonitrile, was added dropwise to 1.04 ml of ethyl 2-bromo-2-methylpropionate (1.29 g, 6.66 mmol). The mixture was stirred and heated under reflux for 8 h then poured onto cold water. The resulting oil was treated with a mixture of THF/MeOH/H2O (3:2:1), and LiOH (5 equiv) was added. The mixture stirred at room temperature for 3 h, 10% HCl solution added, and most of the organic solvents removed in vacuo. The partly solid residue was extracted with CH2Cl2 (3 x 10 ml), dried with Na2SO4, filtered, and concentrated in vacuo to give a yellow solid (m.p. 396 K). Single crystals of (I) were obtained from chloroform.
Aromatic and methyl H atoms were positioned geometrically, were constrained to the riding-model approximation [C-Haryl = 0.93 Å, Uiso(Haryl)= 1.2 U eq(Caryl); C-Hmethyl = 0.96 Å, Uiso(Hmethyl) = 1.5 Ueq(Cmethyl)]. Atom H5A, which is involved in hydrogen-bonding interaction, was located in a difference Fourier map and refined freely with istropic displacement parameters.

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. |

The fibrates belong to a class of lipid-modifying agents that decrease plasma triglycerides (Thorp, 1962; Miller & Spence, 1998; Forcheron et al., 2002). These compounds are used as therapeutic agents in the treatment of dyslipidemia, heart disease and diabetic complications in humans. The fibric acid pharmacophore has been of interest to medicinal chemists ever since the initial discovery that ethyl chlorophenoxyisobutyrate possessed hypolipidemic properties (Thorp & Waring, 1962).
In order to assist our knowledge about the electronic and steric requirements to shown antihyperlipidemic activity, we have determined the crystal structure of the title compound, (I), Fig 1, which is a bioisoster of clofibric acid, with a nitro group instead of chlorine atom. The crystal structure is stabilized by strong O5—H5A···O4 hydrogen-bonding interactions, forming R22(8) motifs (Bernstein et al., 1995) (Fig. 1; Table 2). In the crystal packing there are also weak C6—H6···O1 hydrogen bonding interactions that interconnect molecules into chains running along the b axis. The crystal structure is also stabilized by offset π–π interactions between two adjacent molecules, with a distance between centroids of the C1—C6 benzene rings [Cg1, Cg1" (Symmetry code: -x, y, -z + 1/2)] of 3.8643 (17) Å. (Fig. 2; Table 1).
