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) interactions and weak π–π stacking interactions, with a centroid–centroid distance of 3.673 (11) Å.

A mixture of the sodium salt of benzotriazole (0.148 g, 1 mmol) benzyl chloride (0.126 g, 1 mmol) in ethanol and water (5 ml) were heated at 333K with continous stirring for 4 h. The mixture was kept aside for slow evaporation. After two weeks crystals of (I) suitable for X-ray diffraction were formed.
H atoms were positioned geometrically [C—H = 0.95 (aromatic) or 0.99 Å (methylene)] and refined using a riding model, with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C).
Benzotriazole derivatives show biological activities such as anti-inflammatory, diuretic, antiviral and are antihypertensive agents (Katarzyna et al., 2005; Sarala et al., 2007). They are used as corrosion inhibitors, antifreeze agents, ultraviolet light
for plastics and as antifoggants in photography (Krawczyk & Gdaniec, 2005; Smith et al., 2001). N-Aryloxy derivatives of benzotriazole have anti-mycobacterial activity (Kopec et al., 2008). Benzotriazole possessing three vicinal N atoms, is used as an antifouling and antiwear reagent (Sha et al., 1996). These applications of benzotriazole compounds prompted us to synthesize the title compound and herein we report the crystal structure.In (I) (Fig 1), the bond lengths (Allen et al., 1987) and bond angles have normal values. The benzotriazole ring system is essentially planar with a maximum deviation of 0.0173 (18) Å for atom N3. The mean plane of the benzotriazole ring system (N1—N3/C4—C9) forms a dihedral angle of 75.08 (8) Å with the mean plane of the phenyl ring (C11—C16).
In the crystal, pairs of weak C—H···N hydrogen bonds form centrosymmetric dimers (Fig. 2). In addition, there are weak π–π stacking interactions between ring N1-N3/C4/C9 and ring C4—C9(1-x, 1-y, 1-z) with a centroid-centroid distance of 3.673 (11)Å.

Geometry. All esds (except the esd in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell esds are taken into account individually in the estimation of esds in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between esds in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell esds is used for estimating esds involving l.s. planes. |
Refinement. Refinement of F2 against ALL reflections. The weighted R-factor wR and goodness of fit S are based on F2, conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F2. The threshold expression of F2 > 2sigma(F2) is used only for calculating R-factors(gt) etc. and is not relevant to the choice of reflections for refinement. R-factors based on F2 are statistically about twice as large as those based on F, and R- factors based on ALL data will be even larger. |

Benzotriazole derivatives show biological activities such as anti-inflammatory, diuretic, antiviral and are antihypertensive agents (Katarzyna et al., 2005; Sarala et al., 2007). They are used as corrosion inhibitors, antifreeze agents, ultraviolet light stabilizer for plastics and as antifoggants in photography (Krawczyk & Gdaniec, 2005; Smith et al., 2001). N-Aryloxy derivatives of benzotriazole have anti-mycobacterial activity (Kopec et al., 2008). Benzotriazole possessing three vicinal N atoms, is used as an antifouling and antiwear reagent (Sha et al., 1996). These applications of benzotriazole compounds prompted us to synthesize the title compound and herein we report the crystal structure.
In (I) (Fig 1), the bond lengths (Allen et al., 1987) and bond angles have normal values. The benzotriazole ring system is essentially planar with a maximum deviation of 0.0173 (18) Å for atom N3. The mean plane of the benzotriazole ring system (N1—N3/C4—C9) forms a dihedral angle of 75.08 (8) Å with the mean plane of the phenyl ring (C11—C16).
In the crystal, pairs of weak C—H···N hydrogen bonds form centrosymmetric dimers (Fig. 2). In addition, there are weak π–π stacking interactions between ring N1-N3/C4/C9 and ring C4—C9(1-x, 1-y, 1-z) with a centroid-centroid distance of 3.673 (11)Å.
