Ethyl 4-(2-hydroxyethylamino)-3-nitrobenzoate

Abstract

In the title compound, C11H14N2O5, the molecular structure is stabilized by an intramolecular N—H...O hydrogen bond, which generates an S(6) ring motif. The nitro group is twisted slightly from the attached benzene ring, forming a dihedral angle of 5.2 (2)°. In the crystal packing, intermolecular O—H...O and C—H...O hydrogen bonds link the molecules into a three-dimensional network. The crystal studied was a non-merohedral twin, the refined ratio of the twin components being 0.264 (2):0.736 (2).
