title: 1-(4-Meth-oxy-phen-yl)-4-(3-nitro-phen-yl)-3-phen-oxy-azetidin-2-one.
abstract: In the title compound, C(22)H(18)N(2)O(5), the four-membered β-lactam ring is nearly planar, with a maximum deviation of 0.023 (2) Å for the N atom, and has long C-C distances of 1.525 (5) and 1.571 (5) Å. The mean plane of this group makes dihedral angles of 11.61 (19), 74.5 (2) and 72.3 (2)° with three aromatic rings. An intra-molecular C-H⋯O hydrogen bond occurs. The packing of the mol-ecules in the crystal structure is governed mainly by inter-molecular C-H⋯O hydrogen-bonding and C-H⋯π stacking inter-actions. Furthermore, a π-π inter-action [centroid-centroid distance = 3.6129 (19) Å] helps to stabilize the crystal structure.
