The 1,3,5-oxadiazinane ring in the title compound, C12H14F2N4O3, has a conformation intermediate between half-chair and screw-boat. The crystal structure is stabilized by weak intermolecular C-H...O hydrogen bonds. Weak [pi]-[pi] interactions are indicated by the relatively long centroid-centroid distance of 3.9199 (12) Å and interplanar distance of 3.803 Å between symmetry-related benzene rings from neighbouring molecules.

An important type of insecticide, oxadiazine compounds are highly efficient and of low toxicity, see: Gsell et al.(1998[Gsell, L. & Maientisch, P. (1998). WO Patent 9806710.]). The title compound has been used to synthesize many similar insecticides, see: Maienfisch et al. (1994[Maienfisch, P. & Huerlimann, H. (1994). CN Patent 1084171.]).
