Molecular structure of 3-trifluoroacetamidobenzoyltrifluoroacetone enol form

3-Trifluoroacetamidobenzoyltrifluoroacetone formed in the reaction of 3-aminoacetophenone with an excess of methyl trifluoroacetate crystallizes in the cis-enol form with a hydroxy group located at the carbon atom bound with the trifluoromethyl substituent. Analysis of geometric characteristics indicate the presence of both intramolecular hydrogen bond in the enol fragment and intermolecular H...O contacts in the crystal of the compound.
