Abstract

In the title compound, C(10)H(6)F(3)N(3), the imidazo[1,2-a]pyridine group is essentially planar with a maximum deviation of 0.021 (1) Å. The F atoms in the trifluoro-methyl group and the methyl H atoms are each disordered over two sets of sites with refined site occupancies of 0.68 (1):0.32 (1). In the crystal, mol-ecules are linked into infinite chains through two C-H⋯N inter-actions forming R(2) (2)(12) and R(2) (2)(8) hydrogen-bond ring motifs. These chains are stacked along the a axis.
