Ajgc. Silva et al., Crystal structures of (E)-l-(3,4,5-trimethoxyphenyl)-2-nitroethene and (E)-l-(3,4,5-trimethoxyphenyl)-2-nitropropene, BOL SOC CH, 44(4), 1999, pp. 413-422
The crystal and molecular structures of (E)-1-(3,4,5-trimethoxyphenyl)-2-ni
troethene (1), C11H13NO5, M-r = 239.2, and (E)-1 -(3,4,5-trimethoxyphenyl)-
2-nitropropene (2), C12H15NO5, M-r = 253.3, were determined by X-ray diffra
ction. Compound 1: monoclinic, space group P2(1)/c, a = 7.429(2), b = 9.828
(3), c = 32.766(2) Angstrom, beta = 95.65(2)degrees, V = 2381(1) Angstrom(3
), Z = 8. Compound 2: monoclinic, space group P2(1)/c, a = 8.888(3), b = 13
.650(3), c = 10.369(3) Angstrom, beta = 94.04(2)degrees, V = 1255(1) Angstr
om(3), Z = 4. Compound 1 exhibits no unusual structural features. Compound
2 shows a side chain out of the ring plane and with expanded valence angles
