Abstract:

The crystal structure of the title compound, C₂₀H₁₉F₃N₂O₄, contains one molecule in the asymmetric unit. The CF₃ group is disordered over two positions. The important characteristics of the molecule are the two C=N bonds in an E,Z-configuration, viz. E in the [beta] -methoxy system and Z in the oxymethyl chain between the two aromatic rings.
