N-(1H-1,2,3-Benzotriazol-1-ylmethyl)phthalimide

Abstract

The title compound [systematic name: 2-(1H-1,2,3-benzotriazol-1-ylmethyl)isoindole-1,3-dione], C15H10N4O2, was prepared by the reaction of 1H-benzotriazole and 2-bromomethylisoindole-1,3-dione. The benzotriazole and isoindole units are almost planar and make a dihedral angle of 70.2 (1)° (mean planes include C and N atoms). A weak C—H...O intramolecular hydrogen bond involving a carbonyl O atom as acceptor stabilizes the observed molecular conformation.
