1-(4-Chlorophenyl)-3-(2-nitrophenyl)propane-1,2-dione
Abstract
The title compound, C15H10ClNO4, belongs to the class of 1,2-diketones, which have important applications in both synthetic organic chemistry and supramolecular chemistry. A dihedral angle of 9.03 (1)° is found between the mean planes of the two benzene rings. C—H...O interactions help to stabilize the crystal structure.
