(E)-2-(2H-Benzotriazol-2-yl)-4-methyl-6-(phenyliminomethyl)phenol

Abstract

In the title compound, C20H16N4O, the non-H atoms of the benzotriazole ring system and those of the methylphenol group are essentially coplanar, with an r.m.s. deviation of 0.004 (2) Å. The mean plane of these atoms forms a dihedral angle of 60.9 (2)° with the phenyl ring. There is an intramolecular O—H...N hydrogen bond between the phenol and benzotriazole groups.
