• Description: 2-Acetamido-5-nitrobenzoic acid methyl ester is an organic molecule that has the chemical formula C7H6N2O4. This compound belongs to a class of compounds called diazo compounds, which are characterized by a nitrogen atom with two bonds to carbon atoms and one bond to oxygen. 2-Acetamido-5-nitrobenzoic acid methyl ester is soluble in water and methanol. It has been shown to be chiral and exhibits optical activity. The experimental results show that the compound can exist in two different forms or conformations, which are distinguished by their x-ray diffraction patterns. These conformers have been identified as (1) the protonated form and (2) the torsion form. The protonated conformer has a molecular structure that contains a benzene ring with a hydrogen atom attached to it, while the torsion conformer does not contain this hydrogen atom
