title: 4-Nitro-phenyl methacrylate.
abstract: The title compound, C(10)H(9)NO(4), was obtained serendipitously during the preparation of benzyl cyclo-hexyl-carbamate. The mol-ecule consists of two approximately planar parts, the nitro-phenyl ring and the rest of the non-H atoms, with a dihedral angle of 55.05 (6)° between the two segments. The crystal structure is stabilized by weak C-H⋯O inter-actions and π stacking [3.753 (1) Å] along the b axis.
