title: 4-Nitro-phenyl N-phenyl-carbamate.
abstract: The title compound, C(13)H(10)N(2)O(4), was synthesized as an inter-mediate for the preparation of ureas. The two aromatic rings are twisted about the central carbamate group with a C-C-N-C torsion angle of 139.6 (2)° and a C-C-O-C torsion angle of 95.9 (2)°. The mol-ecules are linked into one-dimensional chains by N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds along the b axis. Weak inter-actions between O atoms of the nitro groups (O⋯O = 3.012 Å) connect two adjacent chains.
