Abstract
In the title compound, C15H13NO4, the two planar nitrophenyl and benzy loxy groups are inclined at 152.3 (2)degrees. The torsion angle about the central C-O bond is 177.5 (5)degrees, giving an extended C-C-O-C c hain. The nitro group is twisted out of the plane of the phenyl ring b y 28.4 (3)degrees to diminish steric hindrance; O atoms of the nitro a nd benzyloxy groups are separated by only 2.625 (7) Angstrom. The dihe dral angles between the epoxy ring and the two aromatic rings are 98.3 (3) and 102.6 (3)degrees. There is a possible C-H...O intermolecular interaction.
