The molecular skeleton of the title compound, C(11)H(9)F(3)N(4)O(2), is almost planar and exhibits a polarized (charge-separated) electronic structure in the nitroaniline portion. Molecules are linked by N-H···N and C-H···O hydrogen bonds to form a chain in which centrosymmetric R(2)(2)(6) and R(2)(2)(16) rings alternate.
The essential oil from fruits of Retrophyllum rospigliosii (Pilger) C.N. Page grown in Colombia was analyzed by GC and GC/MS. Ninety-one compounds were identified, of which the most prominent were limonene (37.7%) and α-pinene (16.3%). The in vitro antibacterial activity of the essential oil was studied against seven bacterial strains using the disc diffusion method. The strongest activity of the oil was against the Gram-positive bacterium Bacillus cereus.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
