Abstract

In the title compound, C(11)H(9)FN(2)O(3), the benzene ring is almost coplanar with the heterocyclic ring, making a dihedral angle of 14.0 (1)°. The plane of the carboxyl group is rotated by 14.7 (3)° with respect to the 1,2,4-oxadiazole ring plane. The aliphatic chain exhibits a standard zigzag arrangement. Two inter-molecular O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds between the carboxyl groups related by an inversion centre promote a dimeric structure formation. The dimers are stacked along the crystallographic a axis.
