The Mitsunobu reaction: An alternative synthesis of 1-(primary alkyl)benzotriazoles

Article abstract of DOI:10.1080/00397919708006100

1-(Primary alkyl)benzotriazoles are obtained in convenient yields by treating the corresponding alcohol with triphenylphosphine, N-bromosuccinimide and benzotriazole. Under these conditions, the alcohols gave exclusively the corresponding 1-alkyl-benzotriazoles. Allyl and propargyl alcohols also reacted regiospecifically in a typical S(N)2 manner, and no products derived from prototropic rearrangement were found.
