(E)-2-[(3-Fluorophenyl)iminomethyl]-4-(trifluoromethoxy)phenol
Abstract
The title compound, C14H9F4NO2, is a Schiff base which adopts the phenol–imine tautomeric form in the solid state. The H atom is located on the hydroxy O atom rather than on the N atom. This H atom is involved in a strong intramolecular O—H...N hydrogen bond. The molecule is almost planar, the angle between the benzene rings being 2.14 (13)°.
