1-(4-Aminophenyl)-3-[2-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]prop-2-en-1-one

The title compound, C16H12F3NO, a derivative of biologically active chalcones, comprises two benzene rings and a central –CH=CH—C(=O)– unit. The dihedral angle between the two rings is 10.9 (1)° and the molecule adopts an E configuration about the central olefinic bond. The crystal structure is stabilized by intermolecular N—H...O and N—H...N hydrogen bonds
