Abstract:

The crystal structure of the title compound, C₂₀H₁₉F₃N₂O₄, contains one molecule in the asymmetric unit. The CF₃ group is disordered. Important features of the molecule are the two C=N bonds in a Z,Z configuration, one in the [beta] -methoxyacrylester system and the other in the oxymethyl side-chain between the two aromatic rings.
