Abstract:
The title mol-ecule, C(17)H(14)F(3)NO(4), consists of two nearly planar fragments, viz. the 2-benzyl-oxypyridine (r.m.s. deviation 0.016 Å) and (E)-3-meth-oxy-prop2-enoic (r.m.s. deviation 0.004 Å) units, which form a dihedral angle of 84.19 (7)°. In the crystal, pairs of O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds link mol-ecules into dimers that are further connected by C-H⋯O and C-H⋯F inter-actions into (001) layers. In addition, π-π stacking inter-actions are observed within a layer between the pyridine and benzene rings [centroid-centroid distance = 3.768 (2) Å]. The F atoms of the trifluoro-methyl group are disordered over two sets of sites in a 0.53 (4):0.47 (4) ratio.

Structure and Nomenclature of Alcohols and Phenols
Alcohols are one of the most important functional groups in organic chemistry. The name of alcohol comes from the hydrocarbon from which it is derived. Alcohols are organic molecules containing the functional hydroxyl or –OH group directly bonded to carbon. Phenols have an OH group directly attached to a benzene ring. While alcohols are colorless, phenol is a white crystalline compound with a characteristic "hospital smell" odor.

Nomenclature of Carboxylic Acid Derivatives: Acid Halides, Esters, and Acid Anhydrides
The IUPAC and common names of acid halides are derived from the corresponding carboxylic acids, by changing “ic acid” to “yl halide.” For example, as shown below, the IUPAC name ethanoyl chloride is derived from ethanoic acid, and the common name, acetyl chloride, is obtained from acetic acid.
