Photoinduced coupling reaction of benzotriazole with aromatic hydrocarbons sensitized by 9,10-dicyanoanthracene (DCA)via an electron-transfer mechanism. A simple synthesis of 1-arylbenzotriazole
Abstract
The photoinduced coupling reaction of benzotriazole with aromatic hydrocarbons (anisole, biphenyl and naphthalene) is sensitized by 9,10-dicyanoanthracene (DCA) to give 1-arylbenzotriazoles in moderate yields via an electron-transfer mechanism.
