4-[3,5-Bis(2-hydroxyphenyl)-1H-1,2,4-triazol-1-yl]benzoic acid dimethylformamide monosolvate

In the molecule of deferasirox dimethylformamide solvate, C21H15N3O4·C3H7NO, the central 1,2,4-triazole ring is tilted with respect to the benzoic acid and one of the 2-hydroxyphenyl units but coplanar with the other 2-hydroxyphenyl group, as indicated by the dihedral angles of 33.69 (9), 72.57 (8) and 5.18 (9)°, respectively. Intramolecular O—H⋯N hydrogen bonds generate an S(6) ring motif. In the crystal, deferasirox molecules are linked by O—H⋯N hydrogen bonds and weak C—H⋯O interactions into chains along the c axis. The dimethylformamide solvent molecules are located between the deferasirox chains and are linked to the deferasirox molecules by O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds and weak C—H⋯O interactions.
