Abstract

The title compound, C(15)H(12)F(3)NO, is a Schiff base which adopts the phenol-imine tautomeric form in the solid state. The dihedral angle between the aromatic rings is 38.79 (5)°. The mol-ecular structure is stabilized by an intra-molecular O-H⋯N hydrogen bond, which generates an S(6) ring. In addition, there is an intra-molecular short C-H⋯F contact.
