title: Ethyl 4-anilino-3-nitrobenzoate.
abstract: In the title compound, C(15)H(14)N(2)O(4), the aromatic rings are oriented at a dihedral angle of 78.33 (3)°. An intra-molecular N-H⋯O hydrogen bond results in a non-planar six-membered ring with a flattened-boat conformation. In the crystal structure, inter-molecular N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds link the mol-ecules. π-π contacts between the phenyl rings and both the phenyl and benzene rings, [centroid-centroid distances = 3.841 (3) and 3.961 (3) Å] may further stabilize the structure.
