Deprotonated benzotriazole derivatives (1a-c) reacted with aldehydes to give the α-oxyanion substituted intermediates (2), which upon further treatment with butyllithium, without separation, resulted in the formation of one-carbon homologated α-substituted alkyl ketones (6a-f). Similar treatment of benzotriazole derivatives (1d-f) generated the benzotriazole ring-opening and rearranged products (7a-f). Plausible mechanisms for these reactions have been proposed.

Aromatic and heteroaromatic aldehydes reacted with benzotriazole and triethyl orthoformate in THF to give the corresponding α-(benzotriazol-1-yl)aryl ethyl ethers 7 in good yield.The novel acyl anion precursors 7 underwent smooth lithiation at the methine group followed by trapping with alkyl halides, aldehydes, ketones, and imines to yield the expected substituted intermediates of type 9, which were hydrolyzed under mild conditions without isolation.Benzaldehyde, methyl-, chloro-, and methoxy-substituted benzaldehydes, 1-naphthalenecarboxaldehyde, 2- and 3-furaldehydes, 2- and 3-thiophenecarboxaldehydes, and 2-pyridinecarboxaldehyde were all transformed in this manner into a variety of aryl and heteroaryl ketones with alkyl (10), α-hydroxyalkyl (12 and 13), α-aminoalkyl (14) and acyl (15) substituents.
