Abstract
A synthetic approach to novel derivatives of dihalonitroethenes, methyl and ethyl 2,3-dibromo-3-nitroacrylates, was developed and their structures were investigated. X-ray single crystal analysis demonstrated that ethyl 2,3-dibromo-3-nitroacrylate had Z-configuration. The steric strain in this molecule is released mainly due to withdrawal of the ester group from the C=C double bond plane.
