Cover illustration: In N-(4-methoxy-2-methyl-5-nitrophenyl)acetamide, C10H12N2O4, the four substituents lie out of the phenyl plane by varying degrees. In the extended structure, the acetamide NH group donates a hydrogen bond to an acetamide carbonyl O atom, thereby forming chains propagating in the [010] direction. The structure of the this compound represents the first crystallographic characterization of a nitrated 4-alkoxyacetanilide formed under biomimetic RONS conditions. Its isolation in peroxynitrite/CO2-mediated oxidation of N-(4-methoxy-2-methyl)acetamide strongly suggests the possibility that analogous nitrated metabolites may arise in vivo during oxidative stress, potentially modulating the pharmacology or toxicity of 4-alkoxyacetanilide analgesics.
