Notes:
---A pronounced conformational preference of the 3′-α-cumyl substituent in 2-(2′-methoxy-3′-α-cumylphenyl)benzotriazole is suggested from the results of molecular dynamics simulations. This suggestion is supported by both solution NMR spectral and solid-state x-ray crystallographic data. The orientation of the α-cumyl substituent may have implications on the relative performance of 3′-substituted 2′-hydroxyphenylbenzotriazole light stabilizers in polar media. © 1997 by John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
