title: 2-Nitro-benzyl methane-sulfonate.
abstract: In the title compound, C8H9NO5S, the dihedral angle between the benzene ring and the nitro group is 5.86 (15)° and the C-C-O-S group adopts an anti conformation [torsion angle = -168.44 (15)°]. In the crystal, mol-ecules are linked by C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds, generating a three-dimensional network.
