Abstract
Treatment of a 2‐alkylbenzotriazole (BtCH~2~R) (2) with LDA at −78°C produces rapidly a mixture of a coupling product (BtCHR–CHRBt) (5) and a compound formed from four molecules of the starting material (BtCHR–CHR–CHR–CHRBt) (6). A mixture of 2‐methylbenzotriazole and benzophenone, treated with LDA, gives adduct Ph~2~C(OH)CH~2~Bt (14) quantitatively whereas benzaldehyde does not react under these conditions. 2‐Alkylbenzotriazoles (2) are alkylated at the α‐carbon atom when their mixtures with alkyl halides are treated with LDA. magnified image

The fragmentation patterns of a series of 1-and 2-alkylbenzotriazoles are recorded and interpreted in comparison with available literature data. 1-and 2-Substituted benzotriazoles are readily differentiated on the basis of the relative ease with which a 1-substituted isomer loses nitrogen compared w
