3,4-Dimeth-oxy-4'-nitro-1,1'-biphen-yl.

ABSTRACT

The title compound, C(14)H(13)NO(4), was prepared through a palladium-catalysed Suzuki-Miyaura coupling reaction. The asymmetric unit comprises two mol-ecules related by pseudo-inversion symmetry. The dihedral angles between the benzene rings in the two mol-ecules are 44.30 (6) and 48.50 (6)° while those between the benzene ring and the nitro group are 6.54 (13) and 5.73 (10)°. The crystal packing is defined only by Van der Waals inter-actions.
