(Z)-N'-Hy-droxy-4-(trifluoro-meth-yl)benzimidamide.

ABSTRACT: In the title compound, C(8)H(7)F(3)N(2)O, the OH and NH(2) substituents adopt a Z configuration with respect to the C=N bond. The hy-droxy-imidamide unit is almost planar (r.m.s. deviation = 0.007?Å) and subtends an angle of 26.25?(13)° with the benzene ring. The F atoms of the trifluoro-methyl substituent are disordered over two sets of sites with an occupancy ratio of 0.783?(15):0.217?(15). In the crystal, O-H?N hydrogen bonds form centrosymmetric dimers. Additional N-H?O hydrogen bonds link the dimers into zigzag chains along the b axis. Weak inter-molecular F?F contacts of 2.714?(5)?Å are also observed.
