N-(4-Ethoxy-2,5-dinitrophenyl)acetamide

Abstract

In the title compound, C10H11N3O6, the torsion angles about the bonds to the benzene ring are less than 4°, except for the nitro groups, which are twisted out of the ring plane by 25.27 (3) and 43.63 (2)°. The N—H group forms a bifurcated hydrogen bond, with an intramolecular component to a nitro group O atom and an intermolecular component to the other nitro group, thereby forming chains propagating in the [010] direction. Several weak C—H...O interactions are also present.
