4-(2,6-Dichlorobenzylamino)-3-phenyl-5-p-tolyl-4H-1,2,4-triazole

Abstract

The title compound, C22H18Cl2N4, consists of four planar fragments. pi-pi interactions occur between the dichlorophenyl and tolyl groups. In the crystal structure, the molecules are organized into layers by a network of N-H...N hydrogen-bond interactions. The compound shows considerable peroxynitrite scavenging activity, although weaker than the standards used, and antimicrobial activity against Gram-positive bacteria such as Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 25923 and Bacillus subtilis ATCC 663.
