(1R*,2S*)-2-Nitro-1-(4-nitro-phen-yl)propanol.

ABSTRACT: The title compound, C(9)H(10)N(2)O(5), presents a racemic mixture of two enanti-omeric diastereomers. In the crystal, mol-ecules assemble into zigzag chains parallel to the b axis [C(6) motif] due to the formation of elongated O-H⋯O(N) hydrogen bonds. Of inter-est is the fact that only the aliphatic nitro group is involved in hydrogen bonding and it adopts a gauche conformation with respect to the OH group.
