title: N-(4-Nitro-phen-yl)cinnamamide.
abstract: In the mol-ecule of the title compound, C(15)H(12)N(2)O(3), the dihedral angle between the rings is 3.04 (8)°. The central NOC(3) fragment is planar [maximum deviation = 0.005 (3) Å] and is oriented at dihedral angles of 8.23 (8) and 7.29 (9)° with respect to the phenyl and nitro-phenyl rings, respectively. In the crystal structure, inter-molecular N-H⋯O and C-H⋯O inter-actions link the mol-ecules into a two-dimensional network. π-π contacts between rings [centroid-centroid distance = 3.719 (1) Å] may further stabilize the structure.
