structure of (E)-1-(4-Methoxyphenyl)-2-Nitropropene

Abstract

An important feature of the molecule is its non-planarity, the nitropropane' ando me.thoxyphenyl groups exhibiting a dihedral angle of 27.10 and torsion angles about the C(1)-C(7) bond of 26.6 and -155.80 •. The molecules pack to form chains with headto- tail short contacts between the methyl and nitro group~ of neighbouring molecules with O ..H distances of 2.528(4)A and O-H-C angles of 132. O(3) o. All intramolecular bonds and angles are within the expected range.
