(E)-4-Meth-oxy-2-[3-(trifluoro-meth-yl)phenyl-imino-meth-yl]phenol.

ABSTRACT: The title compound, C(15)H(12)F(3)NO(2), adopts the phenol-imine tautomeric form, with the H atom attached to oxygen rather than to nitro-gen. There are two independent mol-ecules aligned nearly parallel in the asymmetric unit with their trifloramethyl groups pointing in opposite directions. The dihedral angles between the aromatic rings are 40.43?(1)° in the first mol-ecule and 36.12?(1)° in the second. Strong intra-molecular O-H?N hydrogen bonding generates S(6) ring motifs. Weak inter-molecular C-H?O hydrogen bonds link the independent mol-ecules separately into sheets normal to [010]. In addition, C-H?? inter-actions are also observed. The F atoms of the trifluoro-methyl groups are disordered over two sets of sites with refined site occupancies of 0.59?(2)/0.41?(2) and 0.62?(3)/0.38?(3), respectively.
