2-(1H-Benzotriazol-1-yl)-1-(2-chloro-benzo-yl)ethyl 4-methyl-benzoate

Abstract

In the mol-ecule of the title compound, C23H18ClN3O3, the essentially planar benzotriazole ring makes dihedral angles of 52.93 (1) and 85.21 (1)°, respectively, with the chloro-phenyl and tolyl rings. The crystal packing is stabilized by π-π [centroid-to-centroid distance 3.830 (2) Å, interplanar distance 3.705 Å, slippage 0.968 Å]; C - H⋯π⋯tolyl ring inter-actions are also present.
