Abstract:
In the title compound C(8)H(6)BrN(3)O, the benzotriazole ring is essentially planar (r.m.s. deviation = 0.0034 Å) and the bromo-acetyl unit is twisted at a dihedral angle of 15.24 (16)° with respect to it. In the crystal, pairs of C-H⋯O hydrogen bondings result in the formation of inversion dimers, forming R(2) (2)(12) rings, which are connected by further C-H⋯O inter-actions into chains extending along the b-axis direction.
