(E)-2-Methyl-6-[3-(trifluoro­meth­yl)phenyl­imino­meth­yl]phenol

Abstract

The title compound, C15H12NOF3, adopts the phenol-imine tautomeric form. The molecule is approximately planar and intramolecular O-H center dot center dot center dot N hydrogen bonding generates an S(6) ring motif. C-H center dot center dot center dot pi and offset pi-pi [3.726(3)angstrom] interactions stabilize the structure. The F atoms are disordered approximately equally over two sites.
