Crystal and molecular structure of 3-ethyl-4-hydroxy-1,2,3(4H)-benzotriazine and 6-chloro-4-hydroxy-3-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3-benzotriazine
The crystal structures of the title compounds have been determined from X-ray data collected on a four-circle diffractometer and refined by the full-matrix least-squares method. The former compound crystallizes in the orthorhombic system, space group Pbcn, with a = 14.346(8), b = 7.239(1), c = 17.276(2) Å, and has been refined to a conventional R factor of 0.043 for 890 observed reflections. Corresponding results for the latter compound are monoclinic, P21/n, a = 12.222(4), b = 7.482(2), c = 14.170(8) Å, β = 94.06(4)°, R = 0.060 for 2128 observed data. The triazine rings of both compounds exhibit short N(1)—N(2) bonds and tetrahedral geometry at C(4); however, the ring is puckered in the first compound but flat in the second. Molecules in both crystals are linked by [Formula: see text] hydrogen bonds.
