4-[3-(Trifluoromethyl)phenyl]-5,6,7,8-tetrahydrocinnolin-3(2H)-one

The title compound, C15H13F3N2O, contains one benzene ring, one cyclohexane ring and a pyridazine ring. The dihedral angle formed by the pyridazine ring with the benzene ring is 61.5 (2)°. The crystal structure is stabilized by two intermolecular hydrogen bonds (N—H⋯O and C—H⋯F). The cyclohexane ring adopts a screw-boat conformation. The CF3 group is disordered over two positions; the site occupancy factors are ca 0.6 and 0.4.
