1-Chloromethyl-1H-1,2,3-benzotriazole

Abstract

In the title compound, C7H6ClN3, the benzotriazole ring is essentially planar with a maximum deviation of 0.0110 (15)Å, and makes a dihedral angle of 0.46 (8)° with the benzene ring. In the crystal, molecules are linked through intermolecular C—H...N hydrogen bonds, forming chains along the c axis.
