4-Chloro-N-methyl-N-nitroaniline

The molecular structure of (p-ClC₆H₄)(CH₃)NNO₂ (or C₇H₇ClN₂O₂) contains a planar NNO₂ nitroamino group which is twisted about the N-C_phenyl bond by ca 68° from the plane of the aromatic ring. The structural data are in agreement with the spectral results and indicate that there is no conjugation between the aromatic sextet and the nitroamino group. There are no specific intermolecular interactions.
