2-(4-Chloro-phen-yl)-2-oxoethyl 3-(trifluoro-meth-yl)benzoate

Abstract

In the title compound, C <inf>16</inf>H <inf>10</inf>C <inf>l</inf>F <inf>3</inf>O <inf>3</inf>, the two benzene rings are slightly twisted from each other, with a dihedral angle of 15.50 (8)° between the planes. In the crystal, inter-molecular C - H?O hydrogen bonds link the mol-ecules into a layer parallel to the bc plane. © Fun et al. 2011.
