Abstract
1โMethylbenzotriazole (2a) is lithiated readily with butyllithium or LDA at the methyl group to 4 and the subsequent reaction with various electrophiles provides 1โsubstituted benzotriazoles 5. Other 1โ(nโalkyl)benzotriazoles 2 also undergo lithiation with LDA, the carbanions can be trapped with alkyl halides giving benzotriazoles 6 bearing secondary alkyl groups on the Nโ1 atom. On standing in the absence of electrophiles, all the lithium derivatives decompose to afford complex mixtures. magnified image
