2-(2-Methoxyphenoxy)-3-nitropyridine

Abstract

In the title compound, C12H10N2O4, the pyridine and benzene rings are almost orthogonal, forming a dihedral angle of 86.63 (6)°. Each of the nitro [O—N—C—C torsion angle = −6.45 (19)°] and methoxy [C—O—C—C torsion angle = 179.69 (11)°] groups is almost coplanar with the ring to which it is connected. Molecules are consolidated in the crystal structure via C—H...O interactions, forming a three-dimensional network.
