1-Benzyl-1H-benzotriazole

Abstract

In the title compound, C13H11N3, the benzotriazole ring system is essentially planar, with a maximum deviation of 0.0173 (18) Å, and forms a dihedral angle of 75.08 (8)Å with the phenyl ring. In the crystal, pairs of weak C-H⋯N hydrogen bonds form inversion dimers. In addition, there are weak C-H⋯π(arene) inter-actions and weak π-π stacking inter-actions, with a centroid-centroid distance of 3.673 (11) Å.
