The herbicide triflusulfuron-meth­yl

The mol­ecule of the title compound [systematic name: methyl 2-({[4-dimethyl­amino-6-(2,2,2-trifluoro­eth­oxy)-1,3,5-triazin-2-yl]carbamo­yl}sulfamo­yl)-3-methyl­benzoate], C(17)H(19)F(3)N(6)O(6)S, features a nearly planar (r.m.s. deviation = 0.098 Å) dimethyl­amino­triazinyl-urea group with a short intra­molecular N—H⋯N hydrogen bond to a triazine N atom. An intra­molecular dipole–dipole inter­action between the sulfamide and carboxyl­ate groups, with O(s)⋯C(c) = 2.800 (1) Å and N(s)⋯O(c) = 2.835 (1) Å, controls the orientation of the methyl­benzoate group and the shape of the mol­ecule. The crystal structure is stabilized by inter­molecular N—H⋯N hydrogen bonding, C—H⋯X (X = N,O) inter­actions and arene π–π stacking.
