Methyl 2-methyl-3,5-dinitro-benzoate.

ABSTRACT: In the title compound, C(9)H(8)N(2)O(6), the methyl ester group is almost planar (r.m.s. deviation = 0.002 Å) and is oriented at a dihedral angle of 24.27 (16)° with respect to the benzene ring. The nitro groups make dihedral angles of 4.2 (5)° and 60.21 (11)° with the benzene ring. In the crystal, mol-ecules are linked by C-H⋯O inter-actions, resulting in zigzag chains.
