Experimental

R factor = 0.065; wR factor = 0.136; data-to-parameter ratio = 14.7. In the title compound, C28H29FN3O3PS, the pyrimidine ring is oriented at a dihedral angle of 50.9 (2) with respect to the florobenzene ring, while the two phenyl rings bonding to the same P atom are twisted with respect to each other, making a dihedral angle of 62.2 (2). In the crystal, molecules are linked by weak C—H O and C—H F hydrogen bonds into a three-dimensional supramolecular architecture.
