3-Chloro-5-(trifluoromethyl)pyridin-2-amine

Abstract

In the title compound, C6H4ClF3N2, an intermediate in the synthesis of the fungicide fluazinam, the F atoms of the trifluoromethyl group are disordered over two sites in a 0.683 (14):0.317 (14) ratio. In the crystal structure, centrosymmetric dimers arise from pairs of N—H...N hydrogen bonds.
