1-(1-Benzofuran-2-yl)ethanone O-(2,6-difluorobenzyl)oxime

Abstract

In the title compound, C17H13F2NO2, the 2,2-difluorobenzyloxy residue assumes an E configuration with respect to the benzofuran system. The benzene ring makes a dihedral angle of 61.70 (4)° with the fused ring system (r.m.s. deviation = 0.008 Å). In the crystal, molecules are connected by weak C—H...F hydrogen bonds into chains extending parallel to the b-axis direction.
