title: N-(2-Hydroxy-ethyl)-3,5-dinitro-benzamide.
abstract: The title compound, C(9)H(9)N(3)O(6), was synthesized by the condensation of methyl 3,5-dinitro-benzoate and 2-amino-ethanol. The non-centrosymmetric space group results in the formation of pseudo-chiral helices in the crystal structure, which exhibits a layer packing structure involving intra-molecular N-H⋯O and O-H⋯O inter-actions.
