Methyl 1-methyl-1H-1,2,3-triazole-4-carboxylate

Abstract

The title molecule, C5H7N3O2, has an almost planar conformation, with a maximum deviation of 0.043 (3) Å, except for the methyl H atoms. In the crystal structure, intermolecular C—H...O hydrogen bonds link the molecules into layers parallel to the bc plane. Intermolecular π–π stacking interactions [centroid–centroid distances = 3.685 (2) and 3.697 (2) Å] are observed between the parallel triazole rings.
