(E)-4-Meth­oxy-2-[3-(trifluoro­meth­yl)phenyl­imino­meth­yl]phenol

The title compound, C(15)H(12)F(3)NO(2), adopts the phenol–imine tautomeric form, with the H atom attached to oxygen rather than to nitro­gen. There are two independent mol­ecules aligned nearly parallel in the asymmetric unit with their trifloramethyl groups pointing in opposite directions. The dihedral angles between the aromatic rings are 40.43 (1)° in the first mol­ecule and 36.12 (1)° in the second. Strong intra­molecular O—H⋯N hydrogen bonding generates S(6) ring motifs. Weak inter­molecular C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds link the independent mol­ecules separately into sheets normal to [010]. In addition, C—H⋯π inter­actions are also observed. The F atoms of the trifluoro­methyl groups are disordered over two sets of sites with refined site occupancies of 0.59 (2)/0.41 (2) and 0.62 (3)/0.38 (3), respectively.
