1-Hydroxybenzotriazole → 1-[4-(4-Pentylphenyl)cinnamoyl]benzotriazole 3-oxide

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a suspension of 1-hydroxybenzotriazole (0.20 g) and 4-(4-pentylphenyl)cinnamic acid (0.40 g) in dichloromethane (12.0 ml) was added 1-ethyl-3-(3'-dimethylaminopropyl)carbodiimide hydrochloride (0.33 g) (WSCD.HCl), and the mixture was stirred for 12 hours at ambient temperature. The reaction mixture was diluted with dichloromethane, and washed with brine, and dried over magnesium sulfate. After magnesium sulfate was filtered off, evaporation of the filtrate and trituration with acetonitrile gave 1-[4-(4-Pentylphenyl)cinnamoyl]benzotriazole 3-oxide (0.24 g).
