Abstract
The title compound, C(14)H(8)Cl(2)F(3)NO, was synthesized by the condensation between tri-fluoro-methyl-aniline and di-chloro-salicyl-aldehyde by nucleophilic addition, forming a hemiaminal, followed by a dehydration to generate an imine. The compound crystallizes in an ortho-rhom-bic Pbca (Z = 8) space group with a dihedral angle of 44.70 (5)° between the two aromatic rings. In the crystal, the mol-ecules pack together to form a zigzag pattern along the c axis.
