Reaction Steps

5-Phenylsulfonyl-2-(2-hydroxy-5-tert-butylphenyl)-2H-benzotriazole (15 g, 0.037 mol), paraformaldehyde (0.63 g, 0.019 mol) and di-n-butylamine (5.0 g, 0.386 mol) are charged to a reactor which is then sealed. The temperature is increased to 110° C. at which time sodium methoxide (0.33 g, 0.0069 mol) is added. The reaction mixture is then heated to 205° C. and held there for three hours, The reaction mass is then cooled to 110° C. and 100 mL of xylenes are added. The reaction mass is neutralized with 10% aqueous hydrochloric acid and the organic phase is twice washed with water. The xylene phase is filtered through a plug of silica gel and is then distilled. The crude Mannich product is recrystallized twice from heptane to yield 8.3 g of the title compound having a melting point of 224-234° C.
