( E,E)-α-(Methoxy­imino)-2-[({1-[3-(tri­fluoro­methyl)­phenyl]­ethylidene}amino)­oxy­methyl]­benzene­acetic acid.

The crystal structure of the title compound, C19H17F3N2O4, a metabolite of the fungicide trifloxy­strobin (TFS), contains one mol­ecule in the asymmetric unit. The CF3 group is disordered over two positions. The important characteristics of the mol­ecule are the two C=N bonds in an E,E configuration, one in the β-methoxy system and the other in the oxy­methyl side chain between the two aromatic rings. The mol­ecules are linked via an O—H⋯N hydrogen bond and an infinite spiral is formed along the b-axis direction. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
