N,N′-Diacetyl-N′-[(4-nitrophenoxy)acetyl]acetohydrazide

Abstract

The asymmetric unit of the title compound, C14H15N3O7, contains two independent molecules which are linked into a pseudocentrosymmetric dimer by a π–π interaction, as shown by the short distance of 3.722 (5) Å between the centroids of the benzene rings. An extensive network of weak intermolecular C—H...O hydrogen bonds helps to stabilize the crystal packing.
