Abstract

The asymmetric unit of the title compound, C(21)H(18)ClN(3)O, contains two crystallographically independent mol-ecules which differ slightly in the orientations of chloro-benz-yloxy units. In one of the mol-ecules, the phenyl and chloro-phenyl 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 mol-ecule]. The dihedral angle between the phenyl and chloro-phenyl rings is 77.63 (6)° in one of the mol-ecules and 72.97 (6)° in the other. The crystal structure is stabilized by weak C-H⋯π inter-actions.
