Cyclodecyl 4-nitrophenylacetate

Abstract

Cyclodecyl 4‐nitrophenylacetate, C18H25NO4, has its ten‐membered ring in the expected diamond‐lattice boat–chair–boat [2323] conformation, with the substituent 4‐nitro­phenyl­acet­oxy group in the BCB IIIe position. The ester unit has the expected Z conformation, with an O=C—O—C torsion angle of −0.3 (3)°, and the connection to the benzene ring is nearly perpendicular to the ester, with an O=C—C—C torsion angle of 85.5 (2)°. An inter­molecular contact exists between the ester C atom and a nitro O atom, having a C⋯O distance of 2.909 (2) Å.
