N-Benzyl-2,3,4,5,6-pentafluorobenzamide

Abstract

In the title compound, C₁₄H₈F₅NO , the dihedral angle between the planes of the pentafluorophenyl and phenyl rings is 18.34 (5)°. An intermolecular N-HO hydrogen bond between the amide groups connects these molecules to form an infinite chain through the crystal structure. One weak intermolecular C-HO contact and one - interaction [centroid-centroid distance = 3.772 (3) Å] are also involved in crystal structure stabilization between the phenyl rings.
