Methyl (E)-2-[(2-nitro-phen-oxy)meth-yl]-3-phenyl-acrylate.

ABSTRACT: The title compound, C(17)H(15)NO(5), adopts an E conformation with respect to the C=C double bond of the phenyl-acrylate unit. The phenyl ring and methyl acrylate group of the phenyl-acrylate unit are disordered over two sets of sites with site-occupancy ratios of 0.705?(5):0.295?(5) and 0.683?(3):0.317?(3), respectively. The mean plane through the benzene ring of the phenyl acrylate makes dihedral angles of 88.4?(8) (major component) and 86.7?(8)° (minor component) with the nitro-phen-oxy ring; the dihedral angle between the two components is 3.64?(6)°. Intra-molecular C-H?O interactions stabilise the molecular structure. In the crystal, C-H?O inter-actions result in a chain of mol-ecules running along the b axis.
