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, C<inf>17</inf>H<inf>19</inf>Cl-N<inf>2</inf>O, 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) Å resulting in the formation of a six-membered ring.
