4-Methoxy-2-nitro-4′-(trifluoromethyl)biphenyl
Abstract
The title compound, C14H10F3NO3, was prepared by a palladium-catalysed Suzuki–Miyaura coupling reaction. The dihedral angle between the nitro group and its parent benzene ring is 66.85 (19)° while the dihedral angle between the two benzene rings is 49.98 (9)°. The CF3 group is disordered over two sets of sites with occupancies of 0.457 (8) and 0.543 (8).
