Synthesis and crystal structure of 2-{5-[2-(2,6-dichlorophenylamino)benzyl]-4-p-tolyl-4H-1,2,4-triazol-3-ylthio}acetate

The compound 2-{5-2-(2,6-dichlorophenylamino)benzyl]-4-p-tolyl-4H-1,2,4-triazol-3-ylthio}acetate has been prepared and characterized by IR, ¹H NMR, ¹³C NMR and mass spectra. The crystal and molecular structure were further confirmed using single crystal X-ray diffraction. The crystal structure has been found to be stabilized by intermolecular C–H···O interaction generating bifurcated hydrogen bonds whereas the C–H···N interactions generate chain of molecules. The intramolecular N–H···N hydrogen bond forms a ring with S(7) graph-set motif.
