D. Zhang, X. Zhang and L. Guo

Abstract: The title compound, C₁₉H₁₄ClFN₂O₃, was prepared by the reaction of ethyl (Z)-3-amino-2-cyano-3-(4-fluorophenyl)acrylate and 4-chlorobenzoyl chloride. The dihedral angle between the chlorobenzene and fluorobenzene rings is 66.18 (19)°. In addition to an intramolecular N-HO hydrogen bond, there are intermolecular C-HO and C-HN hydrogen bonding interactions, which stabilize the crystal structure.
