4-(Morpholin-4-yl)-3-(trifluoro­meth­yl)­benzonitrile

In the title benzonitrile compound, C(12)H(11)F(3)N(2)O, an intra­molecular C—H⋯F hydrogen bond generates an S(7) ring motif. The trifluoro­methyl group is disordered over two orientations with a refined occupancy ratio of 0.549 (16):0.451 (16). The morpholine ring adopts a chair conformation. The benzene ring and mean plane of the morpholine ring make a dihedral angle of 58.04 (10)° with each other. In the crystal, mol­ecules are connected by inter­molecular C—H⋯F and C—H⋯O inter­actions to form R (2) (2)(8) ring motifs. These inter­actions also link the mol­ecules into chains parallel to the [10[Image: see text]] direction.
