1-[2-(4-Chloro­Benz­Yloxy)-2-Phenyl­Ethyl]-1H-Benzotriazole

Abstract

The asymmetric unit of the title compound, C21H18ClN3O, contains two crystallographically independent mol­ecules which differ slightly in the orientations of chloro­benz­yloxy units. In one of the mol­ecules, the phenyl and chloro­phenyl rings are oriented at dihedral angles of 38.09 (6) and 42.15 (6)°, respectively, with respect to the benzotriazole ring [43.23 (6) and 29.80 (6)° in the other mol­ecule]. The dihedral angle between the phenyl and chloro­phenyl rings is 77.63 (6)° in one of the mol­ecules and 72.97 (6)° in the other. The crystal structure is stabilized by weak C—H⋯π inter­actions.
