✦ Synopsis
A pronounced conformational preference of the 3Ј-␣-cumyl substituent in 2-(2Ј-methoxy-3Ј-␣-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 ␣-cumyl substituent may have implications on the relative performance of 3Ј-substituted 2Ј-hydroxyphenylbenzotriazole light stabilizers in polar media.
