Abstract: The title compound, C₁₅H₁₁ClF₃NO₄, a member of the class of nitrophenyl ether herbicides, features an ether O atom that links two substituted aromatic rings, the rings being twisted from each other by 62.5 (1)°. The two ether C-O distances are statistically indistinguishable from each other, despite the different nature of the electron-withdrawing groups in the 4-position (relative to the ether linkage).
