The title compound, C10H11F3N2O, is an important urea-based herbicide. In the crystal structure, the mol­ecular packing is stabilized by two intra­molecular C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds and one inter­molecular N—H⋯O hydrogen bond, generating a C(4) graph-set motif running parallel to the [001] direction. The F atoms are disordered over two sites, with occupancies of 0.176 (9) and 0.824 (9).

Comment top

The title compound, (I), is a pre- and postemergence herbicide used widely as water dispersible and suspension concentrate formulations for the control of grass and broadleaf weeds in cotton and sugarcane (Zhao & Wilkins, 2003). As part of our studies in this area (Li et al., 2007), we report herein the crystal structure of the title compound, (I), Fig 1. In the crystal structure the molecular packing is stabilized by two intramolecular C—H···O as well as one intermolecular N—H···O hydrogen bond generating a graph-set motif C(4) running parallel to [001] direction (Bernstein et al., 1995), Table 1.

Experimental top

The title compound, (I), was prepared according to the literature method (Xu et al., 2005). The crystals suitable for X-ray analysis were obtained by dissolving (I) (0.1 g, in acetonitrile (25 ml) and evaporating the solvent slowly at room temperature for about 7 d.

Refinement top

H atoms were positioned geometrically, C—H = 0.86, 0.93 and 0.96 Å for amido, aromatic and methyl H, and constrained to ride on their parent atoms, with Uiso(H) = xUeq(C,N), where x = 1.5 for methyl H, and x = 1.2 for all other H atoms.

Trifloromethyl group was disordered over two sites, occupancies were refined and converged to 0.176 (9) and 0.824 (9), respectively.

Special details top

Geometry. All e.s.d.'s (except the e.s.d. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of e.s.d.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between e.s.d.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell e.s.d.'s is used for estimating e.s.d.'s involving l.s. planes.

Refinement. Refinement of F2 against ALL reflections. The weighted R-factor wR and goodness of fit S are based on F2, conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F2. The threshold expression of F2 > σ(F2) is used only for calculating R-factors(gt) etc. and is not relevant to the choice of reflections for refinement. R-factors based on F2 are statistically about twice as large as those based on F, and R- factors based on ALL data will be even larger.
