title: 4-Nitro-phenyl 1-naphthoate.
abstract: In the title compound, C(17)H(11)NO(4), the dihedral angle between the two benzene rings is 8.66 (3)°. The nitro group is twisted by 4.51 (9)° out of the plane of the aromatic ring to which it is attached. The presence of inter-molecular C-H⋯O contacts in the crystal structure leads to the formation of chains along the c axis.
