Abstract
The title compound, C17H17NO5, crystallizes with two molecules (A and B) in the asymmetric unit. The conformational structures of the two molecules show small but significant differences in the dihedral angles between the two aryl rings with values of 18.8 (1)° for molecule A and 7.5 (1)° for molecule B. In molecule A, the propanoate group is twisted out of the plane of the benzene group [Car—Car—C—C torsion angle = −44.9 (2)°], while for molecule B, this group lies closer to the plane [Car—Car—C—C torsion angle = 8.6 (3)°]. C—H⋯O interactions characterize the crystal-packing interactions in this compound.

The structure of the title compound 1 was determined as part of an ongoing project investigating the surface functionalization of carbon nanostructures and carbon fibers, which have massive application in chemistry and materials science, respectively (Forohar et al, 2011; Moradi et al, 2012; Nierengarten et al, 2004)
The oxidized nitro group present on the aryl ring serves as an excellent diagnostic handle for surface characterization using X-Ray Photoelectron
