Crystal structures of methyl (E)-3-(2-chloro-phen-yl)-2-({2-[(E)-2-nitro-vin-yl]phen-oxy}meth-yl)acrylate and methyl (E)-2-({4-chloro-2-[(E)-2-nitro-vin-yl]phen-oxy}meth-yl)-3-(2-chloro-phen-yl)acrylate.

ABSTRACT: The title compounds, C19H16ClNO5, (I), and C19H15Cl2NO5, (II), both crystallize in the monoclinic space group P21/n. They differ essentially in the orientation of the methyl acetate group, with the C=O bond directed towards the NO2 group in (I) but away from it in (II). In compound (I), the mean plane of the methyl acrylate unit is planar, with a maximum deviation of 0.0044 (2) Å for the methyl C atom, while in (II) this deviation is 0.0147 Å. The inter-planar angles between the two aromatic rings are 74.87 (9) and 75.65 (2)° for compounds (I) and (II), respectively. In both compounds, the methyl acrylate and nitro-vinyl groups each adopt an E conformation about the C=C bond. In the crystal of (I), mol-ecules are linked by C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds forming chains along the b axis. The chains ar
