Methyl 2-[2-(2,6-dichloro-4-nitro-anilino)-3,5-dinitrophenyl]acetate

In the title compound, C₁₅H₁₀Cl₂N ₄O₈, the methyl-acetate and dichloro-anilinic groups are oriented at dihedral angles of 57.73 (8) and 62.44 (4)°, respectively to the dinitro-sustituted benzene ring. S(5) and S(7) rings are formed due to intra-molecular N - H⋯Cl and N - H⋯O hydrogen bonds, respectively. In the crystal, N - H⋯O hydrogen bonds link the molecules into C(8) chains along the a axis. Further C - H⋯O and N - H⋯O hydrogen bonds link these chains in pairs, forming a polymeric network.
