(Z)-N'-Hy-droxy-4-(trifluoro-meth-yl)benzimidamide
Abstract:
In the title compound, C(8)H(7)F(3)N(2)O, the OH and NH(2) substituents adopt a Z configuration with respect to the C=N bond. The hy-droxy-imidamide unit is almost planar (r.m.s. deviation = 0.007 Å) and subtends an angle of 26.25 (13)° with the benzene ring. The F atoms of the trifluoro-methyl substituent are disordered over two sets of sites with an occupancy ratio of 0.783 (15):0.217 (15). In the crystal, O-H⋯N hydrogen bonds form centrosymmetric dimers. Additional N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds link the dimers into zigzag chains along the b axis. Weak inter-molecular F⋯F contacts of 2.714 (5) Å are also observed.

Nomenclature of Carboxylic Acid Derivatives: Amides and Nitriles
The IUPAC and common names of amides are derived from the parent carboxylic acid, by replacing the suffix “oic acid” and “ic acid,” respectively, with “amide.” In the following example, the IUPAC name ethanamide is derived from ethanoic acid, and the common name, acetamide, is obtained from acetic acid.
