title: 4-Nitro-phenyl 2-methyl-benzoate.
abstract: The title compound, C(14)H(11)NO(4), crystallizes with two mol-ecules in the asymmetric unit. The major conformational difference between these two mol-ecules is the dihedral angle between the aromatic rings, namely 36.99 (5) and 55.04 (5)°. The nitro groups are coplanar with the phenyl rings to which they are attached, the O-N-C-C torsion angles being -1.9 (3) and 1.0 (3)° in the two mol-ecules.
