Methyl 4-(butyrylamino)-5-methyl-2-nitro-benzoate

The title compound, C13H16N2O5, is useful as an inter-mediate in the field of agrochemicals. Intra-molecular C - H⋯O hydrogen bonds result in the formation of one six- and one five-membered nearly planar ring; the six-membered ring is also nearly coplanar with the adjacent benzene ring. In the crystal structure, inter-molecular C - H⋯O hydrogen bonds link the mol-ecules.
