1-Benzoyl-3,3-dinitroazetidine

Abstract

In the title gem-dinitroazetidine derivative, C10H9N3O5, the azetidine ring is almost planar, the maximum value of the endocyclic torsion angle being 0.92 (14)°. The gem-dinitro groups are mutually perpendicular and the dihedral angle between the azetidine and benzene rings is 46.70 (10)°
