1-Mesitylmethyl-1Hbenzotriazole 3-oxide

Abstract

In the title compound, C16H17N3O, the benzotriazole ring forms a dihedral angle of 77.25 (6)° with the phenyl ring. The benzotriazole ring is essentially planar with a maximum deviation of 0.012 (19) Å. Weak intermolecular C—H...O hydrogen bonds form R22(10) motifs. The crystal packing is consolidated by π—π interactions with centroid–centroid distances of 3.5994 (12) Å together with very weak C—H...π interactions.
