(E)-2-[(4-Chlorophenyl)iminomethyl]-4-(trifluoromethoxy)phenol
Abstract
The title compound, C14H9ClF3NO2, crystallizes in a phenol–imine tautomeric form, with a strong intramolecular O—H...N hydrogen bond. The dihedral angle between the two benzene rings is 47.62 (9)°. In the crystal, molecules are linked into chains along the c axis by C—H...O hydrogen bonds, and weak C—H...π interactions involving both benzene rings are also observed.
