The reduction of some representative o-nitrophenylazo dyes in ethanolic alkali with glucose gives the corrsponding 2-aryl-2H-benzotriazole 1-oxides in excellent yield.These 1-oxides are rapidly reduced to the parent benzotriazoles at room temperature by means of zinc dust/ethanolic alkali.This method provides a convenient preparation for 5-chlorobenzotriazoles, which are otherwise readily dechlorinated by zinc dust under more vigorous conditions
