The title compound, C(17)H(16)F(3)NO(2), crystallizes with two independent mol-ecules in the asymmetric unit. The dihedral angles between the isopropoxyphenyl and trifluoro-methyl-phenyl rings are 85.78 (5) and 63.15 (6)° in the two mol-ecules. In the crystal structure, inter-molecular N-H⋯O and C-H⋯π inter-actions are observed.
