When 2-(2' H-benzotriazol-2'-yl)phenols containing t-alkyl substituents are warmed in toluene solution with an aluminium chloride/nitromethane catalyst, the t-alkyl groups are transferred to the solvent (toluene).This transalkylation reaction has been used to prepare not readily accessible or previously inaccessible 2-(2' H-benzotriazol-2'-yl)phenols, a class of ultraviolet absorbers widely used in industry.
