1-(α-Alkoxyalkyl)benzotriazoles deriving from aldehydes (other than formaldehyde), or from ketones, react with Grignard reagents at 110 deg C to provide a high-yielding, general synthesis of dialkyl and aryl ethers.Under similar conditions, 1-(alkoxymethyl)- and 1-((aryloxy)methyl)benzotriazoles give, by a different cleavage pattern of the N-C-O grouping, 1-alkylbenzotriazoles and N,N'-dialkyl-o-phenylenediamines.The 1-(α-alkoxyalkyl)benzotriazoles are easily prepared: (a) by condensation of benzotriazole, an aldehyde, and an alcohol under water-removing conditions; (b) by condensation of a 1-(α-chloroalkyl)benzotriazole with a sodium or potassium alkoxide or aryloxide; and (c) by condensatioon of an acetal or a ketal with benzotriazole.All the 1-(α-alkoxyalkyl)benzotriazoles and dialkyl or alkyl aryl ethers obtained were fully characterized by their 1H and 13C NMR spectra.
