Abstract
The isolation of stable carbenes of the Arduengo and Wanzlick type has prompted us to look for stable nitrenium ions of the related structural type 1-Hydroxy-3-methyl benzotriazolium trifluromethane sulfonate. Nitrenium ions are azocations with structure and survive long enough under in vitro conditions to bind with biological nucleophiles, i.e. DNA bases, and play an important role in carcinogenic processes involving the metabolism of aromatic amines. The title compound (C15H16F3N6O5S) was isolated and crystallized in the monoclinic space group Cc with cell parameters a = 19.866(1) A, b = 13.128(9) A, c = 7.673(5) A, and Z = 4. The structure has both intra- and intermolecular hydrogen bonds.
