(Z)-Ethyl 2-(4-chlorophenyl)-3-[(2,4-difluorophenyl)amino]prop-2-enoate
Abstract
In the title compound, C17H14ClF2NO2, the aminoacryloyloxy group makes dihedral angles of 47.55 (11)° with the 4-chlorophenyl group and 8.74 (12)° with the difluorophenyl group; the dihedral angle between the rings is 52.32 (11)°. The structure of the title compound reveals a Z configuration with respect to the C=C double bond in the aminoacrylate fragment. A bifurcated intramolecular N—H...(O,F) hydrogen bond occurs. In the crystal, molecules are linked into chains by C—H...O hydrogen bonds.
