(Chemical Equation Presented) Photodecomposition of tris(benzotrizol-1-yl) methane (1) in benzene gives [1-benzotryazol-1-yl-methylidene]-biphenyl-2- ylamine (2) resulting from the loss of the benzotriazolyl radical and nitrogen followed by addition of benzene. Elimination of the second benzotriazolyl radical from 2 provides the biphenyl-2-ylmethyleneamine radical, which affords phenantridine (3) after ring closure. In contrast, the photolysis of 1 in methanol gives a high yield of benzotriazole (4).

Lithiation of tris(benzotriazol-1-yl)methane 16 gives the tris(benzotriazolyl)methyl carbanion 17 which affords substitution products 18 with many electrophiles.Acidic hydrolysis of 18 affords the corresponding carboxylic acids 19 in good yield.The syntheses of several α-functionalized carboxylic acids are described.
