3-Tert-Butyl-2 '-Chloro-2-Hydroxy-5-Methylazobenzene

Abstract

The crystal structure of the title compound, 6-tert-butyl-2-(2-chlorophenyldiazenyl)-4-methylphenol C17H19Cl-N2O, determined at room temperature, shows that the molecule is essentially planar, as found for other azobenzene derivatives, and features a significant intramolecular H ... N interaction of 1.75(3)Angstrom resulting in the formation of a six-membered ring.
