The title compound, C13H12F3NO3, is almost planar if one excludes the F atoms of the –CF3 group [maximum deviation for the other hetero atoms = 0.069 (1) Å], and the dihedral angle between the pyrrole and benzene ring of the indole system is 2.54 (8)°. In the crystal, molecules are linked by N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds, forming chains propagating along the a-axis direction. These chains are linked via C—H⋯O and C—H⋯F hydrogen bonds, forming a three-dimensional network.

Ethyl 1-(4-methoxyphenyl)-5-(trifluoromethyl)-1H-1,2,3-triazole-4-carboxylate (101.7 g, 323 mmol) was dissolved in MeCN (15 ml) and irradiated during 10 h at 254 nm. The solution was concentrated in vacuo and purified with flash
(Pentane: EtOAc, 4:1) to afford the title compound as a white solid [60.5 g, 211 mmol, 65.3% yield; M.p. 416 - 419 K; HRMS 310.0662 (C13H12F3NO3 + Na+; calcd. 310.0661]. The compound was recrystallized from chloroform to afford colourless block-like crystals suitable for X-ray analysis. Spectroscopic and other analytical data for the title compound are available in the archived CIF.The NH H-atom was located in a difference Fourier map and refined with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(N). The C-bound H-atoms were included in calculated positions and treated as riding atoms: C-H = 0.93, 0.97 and 0.96 Å for CH, CH2 and CH3 H-atoms, respectively, with Uiso(H) = k × Ueq(parent C-atom), where k = 1.5 for CH3 H-atoms and = 1.2 for other H-atoms.

Geometry. Bond distances, angles etc. have been calculated using the rounded fractional coordinates. All su's are estimated from the variances of the (full) variance-covariance matrix. The cell esds are taken into account in the estimation of distances, angles and torsion angles |
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 > 2sigma(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. |

Indoles exhibit a plethora of biological applications (Kochanowska-Karamyan & Hamann, 2010), and a wide range of synthetic methods have been developed to synthesize them (Chen et al., 2008; Barton et al., 1977). Recently an efficient photochemical method for the synthesis of substituted indoles, based on a [3 + 2] cycloaddition of azide and alcynes, has been developed (Alimi & Bochet, 2013). During this work the title compound was synthesized and we report herein on its crystal structure.
The molecular structure of the title molecule is illustrated in Fig. 1. The molecule is almost planar [mean deviation for atoms (O1-O3,N1,C1-C8,C10-C13) is 0.069 (1) Å] with small deviations for the C9, CF3 group. The dihedral angle between the pyrrole (N1/C1-C3/C8) and the benzene (C3-C8) ring is only 2.54 (8)°.
In the crystal, N-H···O hydrogen bonds link the molecules to form chains propagating along the a axis direction (Table 1 and Fig. 2). These chains are linked via C-H···O and C-H···F hydrogen bonds forming a three-dimensional network (Table 1 and Fig. 3).
