1-(2,3,5,6-Tetramethylbenzyloxy)-1H-benzotriazole

In the title compound, C17H19N3O, the benzotriazole ring is essentially planar, with a maximum deviation of 0.0069 (15) Å. The mean plane of the benzotriazole ring forms a dihedral angle of 13.16 (4)° with the mean plane of the benzene ring. The crystal packing is stabilized by π–π stacking interactions, with a centroid–centroid distance of 3.8077 (12) Å, together with weak C—H⋯π interactions. Molecules are stacked along the a axis.
