BENZOTRIAZOLE DERIVATIVE COMPOUNDS

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide novel compounds that may be wavelength conversion materials exhibiting an excellent wavelength conversion property of efficiently converting ultraviolet light to blue light in solution and film states, and exhibiting excellent light fastness of not deteriorating by irradiation with the ultraviolet light. SOLUTION: The invention provides benzotriazole derivative compounds of the general formula in the figure. [Preferably, R1 is a formyl group or alkylcarbonyl group; R2 is a hydrogen atom, alkyl group, carboxyalkyl group, alkyloxycarbonylalkyl group, hydroxyalkyl group, or alkylcarbonyloxyalkyl group; and R3 is a hydrogen atom or halogen atom.] SELECTED DRAWING: None COPYRIGHT: (C)2019,JPOandINPIT

Fluorenol catalyzed reduction of o-nitroazobenzenes and 2-aryl-2H-benzotriazole-N-oxides

A process for producing 2-aryl-2H-benzotriazole by reducing an o-nitroazobenzene with a saccharide having an aldehyde group as a reducing agent in the presence of fluorenol as a catalyst and a base in solution. The reaction is conducted at a temperature of from about 60° C. to about 80° C. The reaction time and amount of catalyst is significantly reduced compared to the use of an aromatic ketone catalyst. The invention also provides a method for producing 2-aryl-2H-benzotriazole by reducing a 2-aryl-2H-benzotriazole-N-oxide intermediate with a saccharide having an aldehyde group as a reducing agent, in the presence of fluorenol under similar conditions.
